Current 'trendy' names in your area. What are they?

[farmersdaughter]

I keep seeing comments about names being 'trendy' and will 'date'. Apart from not really knowing what this means, I was hoping you could maybe please could you share the names 'trending' in your area.

Many thanks.

ps) this is not a name bashing thread, just really interested as it would seem I like these names

Kai and Rhys seperately even Kai-Rhys as one name and i live in south london. I know a few of them said both ways.

Amelia/Joshua

Lily-May, Lily, Lola, Ruby, Emily, Isla, Amelia, Olivia, Ava, Daisy/Maisy

Reece, Alfie, Charlie, Harry, Oscar, Kyle,

Alfie/Oliver
Isabelle/Eva

Does anyone know a Matilda who's not called Milly or Tilly?

Love Isla, a bit gutted to see it become so popular..

I know a Matilda who is known as Tilda.

If I had a pound for every Ava I know.. I'd have about £6. Ditto Lexie, ditto Isla. Elodie v popular round these parts too

Yy to Arlo and also Otis.

Thankfully no Kai/Kayden/Jayden type names though.

I know a Matilda, who is only known as Matilda, in fact wont answer to anything else ( she also has Isla in her name)

all boys are either called harry or george

girls Ivy, Amelia, Lily

Riley seems really popular here. ..and Oscar too.

Isla, Isabella and Olivia overload too!

Sophie, Emily, Evie
Jack, Oliver/Ollie

All of a sudden Daphne's are everywhere here (am in France). Makes me think of Daphne in Neighbours when I was at high school!

Lots of Eleanors round these parts too. And whilst it's not high on the name charts (yet) I've come across a couple of Arabellas.

Harry, Max, tons of Jacks, William, Louis
Amelie, Emily, Amelia
Taylor and Taylers whom I dont know.if they are boys or girls. Must chech nursery photographs.

Millie, Tillie, Ellie, Ella, Isabel/la, Eva, Ava, Evie, Lily, ......

Alfie,Charlie, Lucas, Oliver, Harry, Noah, ......

Ella, Ella-Mai, Ella-Daisy, Ella-Rose etc etc
Evie, Eve, Eva, Ava etc
Isabella, Isobel, Isabella
Poppy, Lily, Ruby, Rosie, Milly, Molly, Tilly.

Would be nice to see some more unusual names around now as these are becoming a bit boring imo.

Quite a few Dylans and Williams here. Mille and Lily seem fairly popular too.

Flowerygirl, my sister and I argue over whether diminutives are proper names all the time! I say go for the proper name (although a baby called Charles seems a little heavy!)

Isabelle and Noah at the moment

How could I forget Jack. There really are a lot of Jack's here.

I know a Matilda who is just Matilda - no shortening (yet, anyway, she was born in September).

Oscar,Finlay,Noah,Oliver
Emily,Jessica,Olivia,Isabelle

We know a Matilda and she's Matty.

We seem to go in for the unusual names round here, which very quickly become usual and very commonplace. Freya seems to have gone a bit like that. I like the name, it's not one of my dc's names but its nice. One of the little girls at my dd2's preschool though is called Thureyya. They thought they'd spell it and pronounce it completely differently to the norm.

thats a bit ridiculous...

I love Eliane with the diminutive Ellie, as she can choose diferent name or more common nickname. I believe Eliane is French for Elaine

Finlay, Archie, Harry & jack. Freya, Amelia & Isabelle

Ellie, Evie, Poppy, Tilly, Milly, Ruby, Emily, Olivia, Eva, Ava

Alfie, Charlie, Artie, Archie, Ollie, Jack, Harry, Finn, Jack, Max

are all VERY widely used and feel very trendy and are likely to sound dated as people tire of them.

Arthur, William, Henry, Alexander, Rafe ( know at least 2/3 of each)

Isabella, Tabitha, Matilda, Iris ( a couple of each also)
