Baby Name Statistics, 2011 News Release
"Harry and Amelia are top Baby Names for first time ever"

Ooh 13 with my dds name!

Squeal! I am 31 weeks pregnant so allowed to be this excited I hope think?!

Off to get a cup of tea and a biscuit and read the list!

Thanks for posting the link!

Most Hollys are born in december, and most Summers are born in August. SURELY NOT?!

I'm scarily obsessed with this list - thanks for posting!!

7 with my DS's name.

179 people called their DAUGHTER Beau.

Hmmmm, not much change is there!

The only names in the top 300 that weren't there last year are (I think)
Anaya (252)
Josephine (261)
Mila (261)
April (267)
Ayla (270)
Polly (272)
Talia (272)
Beau (275)
Aminah (280)
Inaaya (280)
Skyla (280)
Imaan (285)
Evangeline (289)
Philippa (292)
Zofia (292)
Izabella (297)

I think they've replaced:
Peyton, Kyla, Sydney, Charlie, Lila, Beth, Roxanne, Nikola, Laiba, Katelyn, Keeley, Louisa, Chelsea, Ashleigh and Crystal.

I guess I forget how few people are actually on mumsnet - I expected Celementine, Hebe, Isis, Valentine and Isadora etc to have shot up there!

Surprised to see my DD's name top of the list! Mind you I have seen a few since she was born.

I was half expecting DD's name to top the list. I know it's not popular on mumsnet, but I've met a few of them. We didn't look at any list when we picked it. DH is a Dr Who fan ....

Number 52, I'm happy! Not too popular. Our other name choices were more popular than like 19 nd 23. But she didn't suit my of those names anyway.

Argh am in hospital on iPhone and won't open. So far nameless dd3 is being born on Wednesday!!

"Within the top 100 names, Kayden (up 1,041 to number 94) ... were the highest climbers between 2001 and 2011."

How, and WHY (more importantly) is Kayden so popular?

I have three, none of their names are in the top 100. I don't think they have unusual names, I must be wrong.

Nicole is still in the top 100!

Manic where did you find the top 300?

Yay DDs name has hardly moved. still way down the list.

Beau is a boys name surely? Will need to have a look at this list!

Although either less babies were born this year, or more used the top names. There were only about 3 more girls called my DDs name this year than last, but it's almost 100 places higher!

I'm not pregnant or planning anymore and I love this.

Have been searching all the babies I know.

Oddly I know 2 girls born in 2011 that were named Perry yet it doesn't feature at all so they must be the only 2?! THe parents don't know each other so it must just be coincidence.

Only DD2s name features. DD1 and DS have never appeared on the list so can only assume there must have been maximum 2 per year.

i cant get the dam thing to open/load shall try and have a look later asi am wondering if dd's name Merryn has got more popular.

i know ds1 and ds2 names are more popular but mine are 13 and 10 so not popular when we used it!

DD has been at the keyboard, so maybe this was her doing, but at no.852 there were 34 boys called MD??
