What are the FOUR most popular baby names in your area?

[PixieCake]

The names I hear all the time are:

Isabella
Sophia
Evie
Olivia

Thomas
Charlie
Henry
Jack

What are yours? I thought 4 was a good number to avoid those really long lists!

(FWIW I love all of these names, I'm just interested in local trends)

I forgot Charlie. Loads of Charlies. And Maya/Maia.

Local to me in nw
Maisie / maisy
Eve/ Eva/ Evie/ Ava
Jessica
Emily

Michael
Jake,
Josh
Freddie/ Eddie

On fb friends (country wide)
Noah, Nathan, Toby/ tobias are very popular
Again, Jessica and Emily are well used (and lovely!)

Oh yeah, and annabel, Isabel, Abigail and maya
Charlie, George, thomas and Edward/Eddie

I work in a shop selling baby/kids stuff in Scotland so hear a lot of babies to 4/5 year old names. The ones I hear most often are:

Sophie
Olivia
Katie/Katy
Eve/Evie/Evie/Ava

Oliver
James
Alfie

I'm doing this before reading any replies:

Evie/Ava
Edie/Ida/Ada/Eda

Oscar
Ben
James
Jayden

That's in London BTW.

The most common names I hear from families are:

Euan/Ewan
Callum
Fraser

Amelia
Sophia
Anna
Leah

In Oxon:

Freddie
Teddie
Oscar
Harry

Ella (etc)
Imogen
Isobel (etc)
Edie

There are some lovely names above that we shortlisted for DD, but I'm feeling smug as her name isn't above

Actually wait, I want to swap Edie for Sophie/Sophia

I have an Isabella but where I live it isn't hugely common - sounds like it is everywhere else though! I could see it was in the top 30 though when I picked it.

Names I hear all the time here:

Grace
Evie
Lauren
Mia

Jack
Josh
James
Sam

Neveah
Ella/Ellie
Chanel
Shaneequa/Shanika/Shane'qua

Wurzel?

(still recovering from this on page 1)

Hmm... under the age of 3, I know more than one

Noah
Elliott
Nate
Jacob

Bella - 7! of different varieties, including Isabel/la Annabel/la and a Bellatrix
Poppy
Olivia
Elsa

Closely followed by Freya and Ava

The girls overlap way more than boys too. After Bella, I know of 3 or 4 of the names mentioned (including nationwide friends).

Eve/Evie/Eva (one third of girls in DDs class named a variant of this)
Lily
Sophie/a
Isabel/Isabella/Isabella etc
Grace

Ben
Oliver
Archie
Josh

Think there should be an announcement to new parents that these names are now full and they should choose others. There are plenty of perfectly decent names mouldering away why does everyone pick the same ones?! [baffled]

Boys

Sam/Samuel
Jack
Joe
Isaac

Girls
Eva/Evie/Eve/Ava
Emily
Olivia
Chloe

Ava
Isabella
Mille
Tough call between Freya and Evie

Harry
Charlie
Thomas
Oliver

Sorry, meant to say that's in Manchester

The Eve names are definitely this generations Sarah.

Jack
Theo
Oliver
Alfie

Ava
Evie
Lily
Isabel

Archie/Alfie/Charlie/Harry
Finn/Fin
Oliver/Oscar

Eve/Eva/Evie
Ellie/Ella/Elle
Lily/Molly/Grace

are all VERY popular round here.

Actually, you could just look at the ONS lists of baby names during the past years, you'd get a similar list. I think they even provide a regional breakdown.

I was in the park (South East) recently: someone shouted 'Maya! Time to go home!' and eight girls turned around.

I work in a nursery in Ashford, Kent most common/popular names are

Boys- Harvey, Hayden/Jayden and Charlie (also for a girl)
Girls- Isabelle, Chloe, Ellie and Ruby

It really doesnt help with giving me ideas for my own names (I don't want the same name as any child I already know)

South West
Finn/Finley
Noah
Harry
Jack

Olivia/Olive
Ava/Evie/Eve
Maya/Mia/Mya
Lily
