IYO...What's the new 'on-trend' names

[hellojude]

Just wondering what you all think the next 'on-trend' names are going to been...???

So long Lola and Alfie...Welcome???

Wow, with all these old fashioned names trending, the school reception register will soon read exactly the same as the washing up rota at the pensioners coffee morning!!

So many Finns, Finleys, Finlays here. It is really popular, know 7 born in the last year so it may have peaked. Amelie still very popular too.

Gutted to keep reading Reuben/Ruben, it's my current favourite for DC2, and hadn't encountered any mention of it before now... Isla/Islay/Eila, Sophie and Fin(d)lay are extremely popular here, so much so we have 'blond Sophie,' 'bunches Sophie,' 'big Sophie' (an adult, not a fat child!) 'Sophie from Tuesday group' etc! Otherwise DS has no clue which one I'm talking about.

I am very cross with Pippa Middleton

DD2 (7 months) is Philippa Imogen- so dead common judging by the comments above.

However, I currently live in an area where Jayden/Kayden/Chantelle type names reign supreme, so I doubt it will suddenly become massively popular here (the local populace is more likely to be swayed by The Only Way is Essex, than the Royals)!

if we're seeing a return to traditional names...i challenge you, all you trend setters
i'd just like to put into the pot:
fanny was my granny's name (honest),
and rivers was my grandad's

"What are the latest celeb baby names...isn't that usually a factor?"

Moroccan and Monroe - lol.. i hope they won't be trendsetters

Hester
Caleb
Rupert
Esme

i think anyting used by a celeb whose picture appears in a celeb type magazine or on tv or names appearing on soaps eg belle . i wonder whether Hope will see a meteoric rise

also sound a like names eg larry, gary ,barry to replace harry. also harold used more but shortened to harry

gulliver as a homage to oliver etc

arabella ,annabel again to replace isobel etc

Noah
Isaac
Edward
Theo (may have already peaked)

also name that can be shortened to wills and kate but aren't william and catherine eg wilbur, wilfred and catlin,kathryn,kathleen (maybe not just yet)

my new sons name is on here a few times but i only know 1 other and everyone so far has commented it as unusual and different, so there mustn't be many round here!

freesias have you had a drink?! Gary, Barry and Larry?!?
(secretly hopes you are right...)

Am surprised to see DS1 name (Quentin) being mentioned a few times, I hadn't realised it was becoming popular... We're currently thinking of names for DS2 and love Arthur and Clement, so perhaps we're all influenced by the same trends .

Has anyone said Matilda?

Noah is popular around here too (NW) although I think that might have passed.

I love Jago-I seem to have a knack for choosing names i think are unusual then by the time the kids are thee there are 6 others at preschool! :)

Definetly Pippa, as a m/w have noticed this over the last few weeks.

Fitzwilliam and Philip for new ones. I fully expect to see Joshua/Zac/Harry on announcement cards this year.

Girls: Theodora and Arabella for new ones. I don't think the *-Mai/Eva/Evie/Isabelle/Ruby trend will die down for a while.

Douglas and Margot.

My DD isn't mentioned at all....yippee [does that mean she has an uber cool name or just isn't 'trendy']

Loving Fitzwilliam...quite alternative but clearly good enough for Jane Austin.

I do think "trends" are entirely subjective. DD is a Matilda... apparently really popular according to MN, but I haven't met another baby with her name (I suppose I know about 30 babies in the area) and there isn't one at DH's primary school.... (we live in London). Everyone I meet says its v unusal and hasn't heard of another....

I know HEAPS os Sophia's and Eva/Ava's born in 2010. For boys, there are lots of Nathaniel's and Finley's.

OI! I have a perfect RUFUS!!! He's 15

Is quite sad that's quite proud that my question is on discussion of the day??? Clearly I need to get out more....

Above post didn't' make any sense at all.. screaming child...brain going into shut down!

On trend here

Girls - Matilda, Lola, Holly

Boys - Noah, Lucas, Issac
