I am expecting and my dd has suggested "Sparkly" and "Green".

No-one seems to have used these Grin?

I decided to look at the ones that had been mentioned more than 10 times, some were close but the following are the leaders

Isla - 21
Finn - 19+ (some people mentioned 'loads of Finns')
Jack - 19
Amelia - 17 (+ 7 Amelies)
Isabel/Isabelle/Isabella - 17
William - 15
Oliver - 15
Olivia - 14
Lily/Lilly/Lillie - 14
Charlotte - 13
Mia - 13
Arthur - 12
Grace/Gracie - 12
Matilda/Mathilda - 12
Max - 12
Sophie - 11 ( + 5 Sophias)
Finlay/Finley -11

So in answer to a few people's questions - yes Isla really IS that popular! lol
