2010 stats released today

[PrincessJenga]

Last year's statistics have just been released http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=184 online

Oliver and Olivia still top names.

I'm about to scour the rest of the list for inspiration and to check the names I've chosen aren't too popular

What do we think?

I agree, I'd love to see the one & two registrations, would be rather interesting!

Umm noticed the misspellings of Heaven / Nevaeh ...utterly bizarre!

Jay-J.
W. T. A. F.?

My DD name is quite far up on the list, I've liked the name for over 10 years and always said I would call a girl by that name and I had never known anyone called it. It may sound bad but I was pretty gutted when we named her and then discovered that it was really high up in the list and 5 girls at toddlers were called the same!

I can't believe that in the girls list, Lexi is 46th, Lexie is 68th and Alexandra is 97th......!

IMO Alexandra is such a nicer choice as Lexi(e) is always an option as a nn. But if your full name is Lexi(e) then you're stuck with it.

Over 56 girls called Dolly... And 15 Tigerlily/Tiger-Lily/Tigerlillys

And more Blossoms than Ophelias or Merediths

And only 3 Tarquins - I would've thought there'd be more than that, judging by MN

For a name LESS popular than the top 100, how do you find out if there were any others named the same name in the year your dc were born?

The lists here show all names in each year except for any that there were given to fewer than 3 children.

AllYourCake- I actually know a Jay-J in rl...

3 baby Usher's? Dear oh dear...

And I have to say I had a very immature snigger at Rishit...

I can only see the Top 100 list. Please could someone point me in the right direction for the comprehensive list? Thanks.
