Thought I should share this after it came up on my antenatal thread - it's like the American baby name wizard but with UK names. Genius!

I saw this, i will use it for the next dc, dd2's name is far too common, i wish i had something like this when naming her!

That's actually really cool - I am assuming it recognises every name registered rather than just names where 3 or more have been registered. There can't have been more than one Ashton-Thomas in 2010 surely?

The ONS lists (from which the tool is made) have been freely available for years. Every year it lists ALL baby names given (well, those used at least twice I think).

Oh, I just relooked. There were 3 Ashton-Thomas' in 2010! I wonder if they know each other?

This is so cool, and i love the design of it too. Only 50 babies born with the same name as my son when he was born.

When are the official stats out for 2011 anyway?

Great to see a UK version!

It's a pain to type in though. I touch type but if a hesitate for a moment it wipes out what I have typed and start half way through the name.

My name is down to 2843rd thank God!

This doesn't cover the whole of the UK. Anyone know if there is something similar for Northern Ireland and Scotland?
