ONS Baby Names 2012?

[KosherBacon]

Anybody know when they are going to publish the data on baby names for 2012? I remember they'd published it by this time last year.

33 babies born 2012 with the same name as DD! That's down 10 from 2011. DD was actually born in 2012 but due to bureaucratic Registry Office we couldn't actually get her registered until 2013 so she doesn't count on these stats :( Hope her name stays so uncommon though!

MortifiedAdams - I believe that Chava is a Jewish name which is (roughly) pronounced HAR-va not Chav-a!

3 little Zeus's
3 Yanky's
3 Sucess's (no pressure)
3 Sebastiaans (liking the extra "a" - mis-spelling or foreign spelling?)

MortifiedAdams - Chava is a legit Hebrew name, it's actually the original Hebrew form of Eve.

In Hebrew, Ch isn't pronounced like it is in English, rather the pronunciation is like a guttural H. Thus in Hebrew, Chava is pronounced a bit like Ava, but just with that guttural H sound at the start.

DD2 (born 2012) has jumped 11 places but is still way outside the top 100.

Sebastiaan is Dutch.

97 girls named 'Princess'

24 baby Elvis

224 called INAAYA. I've never heard that name before...

Freedom it's like in Arabic Hawa right? Which is Eve in Arabic. Would that be also the meaning in hebrew?

Does anyone know if this is for babies born in 2012 or registered in 2012? I'm just interested as DD was born in 2012 and registered in 2013. Her name is unusual, but I'm surprised not to see it there at all.

Sorry if it says clearly and I'm being dense!

My name is in the top 100 along with the more usual spelling which has an h. My DM thought it was different - wrong! Has bugged me all my life when people add the h, even when replying to an e-mail from me!!

3 baby Awsomes! My husband says he likes to imagine that some day they'll meet on a windswept mountain top for epic sword battle to decide which is the most awesome of all.

Mooshe - it's registered in 2012. My dd was also born in 2012 but wasn't registered until 2013 so she doesn't count for the purposes of these stats. However if your dd has an extremely unusual name and there are less than 3 of them registered this year then it still won't show up on the stats next year as ons do not publish these details (to preserve anonymity)

Ds1 name is now in the top 100 but was just about in the top 500 when we named him
Ds2 was born in 2012 but his name isn't on the list at all, I've tried various spellings too, none found

Can someone who can search the full list tell me how many Bridgets there were? Thank you!

52 Brigets.

One Night Stand names?

Does this go off registering birth or DOB?

Sorry, seen answer above!

52 x Bridget
3 x Bridgette
4 x Brigita
26 x Bridie

No Brigitte, Birgit, Birgitte or Brigid showing up.

How many Margot's please? Or how can I search via iPhone (I have the list but after trawling and finding margo only I gave up.

67 x Margot
13 x Margaux
4 x Margo

I haven't had time to read this whole thread but had a look at the stats. I'm so surprised by some of them being so underused. I expected names like Molly-May and Amy-Leigh to be low on the list but am really surprised to see names like Caroline being so low. Its very puzzling. I'd have thought Caroline was a good solid name that bypassed popularity trends.

Oh no no no no no no! I'm emigrating immediately.

Nevaeh is 122.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Sorry, 121. There are 483 new ones out there.

And only 30 Susans.

What's wrong with the world!?!
