What are the popular names of 2011?

I think I'm not alone in searching for that elusive name which is not too popular, but popular enough that it is doesn't sound made up.
To help I wondered if people could list the names of any brand new babies they know, as the 2009 list from the statistics office already seems a bit out of date.
I don't know many babies and am in the US - I don't want to pick something that is going to be really common when we come back to the UK.
I keep thinking of something (like Florence - the name of my childhood teddy bear) and checking on here to find I am being predictable!
Boys and girls lists welcome.
Thanks

Is Theodore really popular then? That's one we are considering - Teddy for short rather than Theo as he'll be born in America.
A lot of those girls name are lovely! But I have a really common name so want something less so for the baby.

chocadoodle · 10/03/2011 09:03

EmmaBGoode I think Roisin is pronnounced Rosheen.

Lovely Irish name but I guess it's one of those that unless you live in Ireland you'll be forever telling people how to pronnounce or spell.

Tuschinski · 10/03/2011 10:24

Roisin = Roe-sheen
