What are the hip Londoners & jet set calling their 2012 babies?

[YummyMummybee]

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!!!

I am going to have to stop reading this thread. I already feel sorry for my unborn Florence because people will think she was named that because it was trendy. I wonder if I could get her a tattoo that says "It was my great grandmothers name" :-)

3boys, if you are that bothered by Florence's popularity but still want to honour your great granny, why not use it as a middle name?

I want Sharon to make a comeback. I know it now has bad connotations but I really like the way it both sounds and looks written down. Shall I try to repopularise it if DC2 is a girl??

Ah... both my DC's names are on here, London hipster that I am not.

FWIW, they do have v hipster names.

I think Cosima
Jean
Inigo
Hector

I am laughing at 'Coterie' - it's just one of my favourite words crunch!

Y'all need this link btw...

Arlo is DS's name!

Aw, I love most of these names :( Can't bare Florence and Arlo though.

I don't know any Londoners (or any new babies for that matter), but from what I've seen on forums, I'm very surprised some of these names are so common!

In the north

Girls:

Piebald
Serengeti
Changeling

Boys:

Mitford
Fitzwilliam
Slalom

I like Sharon too. Beautiful connotations - rose of Sharon, and biblical.

Trendy names I know of locally are:

Milo
Tess
Kate
Finn

Sharon pronounced Sha- ron is particularly lovely.

I love Kate

Kate

Wish I was called it

Wren is a trendy name at the moment too

Ricky
Marmaduke
Marmalade
Foncine
Duval
Dougal
Greg
Gaia
Cordelia
Grafitti
Dizzi

Chimay
Lambic
Duvel
Rochus
Petrus
Jupiler
Amstel
Stella ....

My niece has one of those names you rotters have made up in your joke lists. Poor litle mite. I can't call it out when i am with her . I call her by her initial. e.g if her name was 'Duvel' it's worse I'd call out 'Dee!'

I live in London, ain't hip though

We know:
Matilda
Daisy
Coco
Seren
Annabel
Cecilia
Grace
Sophia
Clementine
Isobel
Ella
Astrid
Alexander
Leon
Caspar
Max
Arlo
Herbie
Justin

Annoyed Clementine keeps coming up. Is one of my favourites

Satsuma is a good alternative

If you like Clementine but think it is too popular, how about Capucine?

Latest cool dude born round here was called Johnny, but he's John on his bc.

I think it's genius, uncommon yet not
unusual. Helps that he's v.cute too.

Last girl was called Emily.

I know a young Kay. That really impressed me. So afashionable it has to be stylish, surely.

Sorry, Almanzo! Tell all

How about

Jona
Mathis
Angelis
Divo
Luther

I got them off the back of a Xmas CD.

Oscar
Douglas
Stanley
Roman
Joel

Amber
Anna
Niamh
Sophia
Molly

Surely Sharon and tracey are due a comeback. Perfect for twins.
