I think Alfie's already been and gone, and I suspect Gabriel has peaked. I'm no too sure for a boy. For girls, I agree about Pippa, and would add Imogen.

Herbie and Agatha

bibbitybobbityhat · 16/05/2011 22:06

Dorothy and Jago

CanYouBeHappyAnyway · 16/05/2011 22:06

do you think Imogen will rise lots?

It's always been around - rises a few places in the popularity lists, drops a couple etc.

Pippa probably will become more popular.

hmmm, boys a bit trickier. not sure.

GIRLS: Esme, Florence, Edie and Ivy

BOYS: Arthur, Wilfie, Bertie and I fear Rufus.

Old boys names like Arthur, Quentin, Wilfred will rise in popularity imo, as will girls names like Agatha, Elsie and Florence.

Why Pippa Hmm...due to the Middletons?

TOWIL · 16/05/2011 22:22

Imogen is already very popular. More popular than Lola!

UrsulaBuffay · 16/05/2011 22:24

I think 'trendy' or 'on trend' is slightly different to popular or placement in the charts, correct me if I'm wrong. Yes Imogen is around 30 or so in the charts.

'Ugly' granny names - Maude, Edith, Agatha
Eccentric/posh boys names - Benedict, Monty, Percy etc

UrsulaBuffay · 16/05/2011 22:37

Elodie

LynetteScavo · 16/05/2011 22:40

Ruby, Imogen,

Teddy, Monty.

MelinaM · 16/05/2011 22:41

I long for the downfall of Eve, Evie, Ellie, Lily etc...enough alreadyGrin

Agree with Delilah, Esme, Florence and Pippa for girlies. Albert and Arthur for the boys.

I'm adding:

Beatrice, Clementine, Kate, Sophia.

Alexander, Flynn, Louis, Rafe.

manicinsomniac · 16/05/2011 23:57

Agatha?!?!? Seriously? One of the ugliest names in the world imo. Tied with Gertrude, Doris and Ethel.

snice · 17/05/2011 00:02

Edith, Mary

Monty, Reuben

smallpotato · 17/05/2011 00:04

Marnie is definitely on the up. Agree with more unusual granny names like Dorothy, Agnes, Dora making a comeback too.

Think names from the likes of Agatha Christie and Enid Blyton novels will become HUGE.
