What names have you noticed getting more popular in 2010?

[bytheMoonlight]

What do you think will be the popular names of 2010?

Every baby i meet lately seems to be George or Martha

I've met a few Quentins and Stanleys recently, as well as Marthas and Florence. So the 'granny chic' trend is definately continuing.

India, Lola, Stanley, Grace, Ruby, Elodie, Clemantine, Lota and Lottie!

Bos names beginning with E too- Evan and Eliott.Seem very popular recently.

Amelia/Emilia, Isobel ..yes still, Josh ..ditto, and Max!

I know four baby Sienna's. Two of them have Rose as a middle name, and the other two have May/Mae. And one has a brother called Jude. My hairdresser told me that a client of hers recently called her son Alfie Jude. Oliver is also very popular. I hear it all the time. And Ella. My goodness there are loads of those. I am struggling with choosing a name for my first child due in Feb. I used to love Isabelle. I like Sophia and Lucia. Anybody hearing those names more and more?

The last four baby girls born to my friends in the last three months have all been called Jessica!
DS1 in at pre-school with four Harrys and three Alfies.

I really hope the 2 possibilities we have for DS won't shoot up in popularity but I have a sneaky feeling they will.

I know of 3 Noah's born within the last couple of months.

Noah
George

Gutted.

All the popstar names are big round here:

A lot of the names mentioned here are already mega popular... e.g. Olivia, Jack etc. It is only a question of time before they start declining in popularity again.

Isn't the question about names that are BECOMING more popular?

Fatty , really?

Well, a friend called her daughter Mabel and another Gwendolyn, and a recent boys name used is Eric. But apart from the unusual old ladies and old men names, its still Amlia's etc around me.

Amelia's even.

DD is five, and she's Evelyn, though we did consider Evie. Kinda glad we didn't, as there do seem to be lots of Evie's around recently.

The children I know born this year are called: Carmen, Jackson, Max, Emma and Joseph.

Am pregnant with DC2 and have NO idea for names at the moment! Though, may book mark this and scrap off all the "popular" ones from any short list.

Elf do people call your DD Evie. My Dd is Evangeline, but I am struggling to get people to call her that rather than Evie (which I like, but it is not her name)

is ted/teddy really becoming much more popular?? Had it in mind for no.2..

Boys
Harry, Joseph, Samuel

Girls
Annabel(le), Isobel, Ava, Jessica, Grace

Oh yes & Sophie/ Sophia are huge in East London

Here in Bristol I've noticed quite a few of the following: Boys Oscar, Alfie, Olly, Noah, Will, Max, Finn,

Girls Esme, Amelia/Emilia, Ava, Ruby, Isabelle/Isobel, Sienna, Alexis, Maddie, Sophia/Sofia, Jasmine

The other 'cutsie' names of the moment also continue to be popular -Archie, Harry, Josh, Sam, Stan, Tobey, Tommy. Evie, Lily, Mai/Mae, Millie, Maisie, Poppy, Rosie, Georgie ...etc,etc!!

Lately in my area:

Oliver
Oliver
Charlie
Edward
Yolo

Sophie
Olivia
Olivia
Olivia
Millie

Here (Ireland) it appears to be mostly Conor for boys at the minute. Also, Oisín seems to be getting really popular (so dh was telling me last night judging by how many in his work are naming new babies this) which I have to admit, makes me a little sad as we named ds this at the start of the year and thought there were'nt many at all!!!.

Girls Hannah, Lily, Sophie etc..

...I'm adding Felix and Maddie to the list! x
