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.

Greythorne - that's interesting about popular names in France ATM. Completely different from here - except for Clementine which I think is also popular in UK? Pretty, as is Valentine. But Cappucine - isn't that a monkey or a monk or something? (Or a hot drink?)

[Umanayana]

I have a two year old Clara. Slightly miffed that is looks like it's going to become popular. The new Dr Who assistant won't help! I also have a 15 year old who's name was virtually unheard of when he was born. It's now very popular. My middle child has a name that is on the up too. Grrrrrr! I still love all their names though.

[MoaneyMcmoanmoan]

Jaxon.

Every girl is called either Ruby or Lily.

[AThingInYourLife]

Arlo, Cillian, Ethan

Haven't really noticed any trends with girls' names amongst people I know.

[Throughgrittedteeth]

My DS's name has I only been mentioned once on here but if he had been a girl he would have been Grace, which is soo popular round these parts (Cambridgeshire) also Lily, Isla, Harry.
YY to some up thread who said lots of mid-twenties girls with Louise as their middle name - it's like a special club among my friends

[farmersdaughter]

Utterly love this name it's brilliant.

[elvislives]
