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 like loads of those lapsedpacifist!

Me too, good list lapsedpacifist. Nice names but without going so far as the harsh/ugly ones which a few people are now going for.

Me too lapsedpacifist most of my list can be found on your list! Always gets slated on here though!

Most of these were fellow pupils at school in the 1960s . I mssed out the (then) ubiquitous Karen, Sarah, Julie, Sandra, Clare and Louise as being just a tad TOO ordinary. I'm on the list too!

I don't believe that DS (15) has EVER known a contemporary with one of the these names .

Tahoma
Verdana
Garamond
and of course, Wingdings

DH and I both celtic so would like celtic names-so far for a boy we like Hamish, but my family not keen :-(
Roddy I love but my DH Doesnt :-(
Isla for a girl but my one already in family
DH likes.......wait for it .........Poppy , Summer, India for girls.
