Just wondering what the posh Londoners & jet setters are calling their new babies as these are always the names that trickle into the main stream in a few months. A friend of mine is a midwife in a private London hospital & she said the following are really gaining popularity

Boy

  • Arlo
-Otto -Casper

Girls
-Fleur
-Ottolie(never heard this before!!!)
-Florence

She said in the upper class William, Edward still used commonly for boys as middle names. Charlotte, Isabella, Poppy for girls

Can you add anymore up & coming names?I'm sure there are plenty of threads like this I'm just too lazy to look!!!) Find it fascinating & I love the way high society types get away with names the majority of us find somewhat bizarre!!!

It's funny that Orla is becoming so popular here, it is bog standard at home. There were 5 in my class in primary school. With a variety of spellings :)

Trendster names....
This week I encountered a tiny girl called Ethel Rita June (the ultimate old lady name) and a boy names Po. As in the teletubby.

Po.

Are his siblings Jerry and Jordan?

LineRunner do you think you'd need to do liquid nitrogen as special delivery?

LineRunner · 23/01/2012 19:12

I was thinking more of the weight, even if it just went first class, Cuppa.

LineRunner, I think I love you! What about Spunkmeyer Grin

I did actually suggest Ripley for our DD (due in March) but DH gave me look that said don't ever mention that again, and also I'm hiding the DVD player remote...

LineRunner · 25/01/2012 18:17

Ah yes, I forgot about Spunkmeyer. Grin

Nostromo's a cool name.

I know two Mardi's one is in her early 30s and the other is mid 60s. I like it. They are both Canadian, so maybe it is making a resurgence there.

Oh no, not a remake. Wink

When all the kids at DD's nursery troop next door to amuse/ sing to the local old folk's home, what is hilarious is that they all have the same names eg Ethel, Arthur, Molly, Alfie meet Ethel, Arthur, Molly, Alfie.
Catches me every time.

LineRunner · 27/01/2012 15:40

PercyFilth · 27/01/2012 16:40

Oh gawd, another reason why I hope I am never condemned to an old folks home. Other people's small children irritating the fuck out of me singing to me.

Cewafwb · 27/01/2012 19:27

my sister called her ds Oliver as she didn't know any - didn't listen to me with three boys at school - 24 hours later the Times top ten list came out with Oliver at the top - she was furious! I love Florence, but it is in the Hatches, Matches and Dispatches EVERY day! I have three boys and if by some amazing streak of luck we are having a girl (chances slim!) as number 4, then I don't want to get it wrong - SO HARD!!
