[eragon]

everyday names, thomas, emily, charlotte, Isabelle, Eve, Lilly.

but also, Nelson, Arthur, Iris, Stanley.

anyone else overhear some different names while on holiday this summer?

Blair, overheard in Cornwall.

I don't think it would be my first choice

Boy called Vanny.

that is truly cruel

On the train the other week, two baby boys, Rafi and Ori (not sure if that was how they are spelled). Rafi might have been short for Rafael, which is not that unusual, no idea about Ori though. I really like Rafael.

Don't think the names in op are very unusual tbh. Neither is Stanley - know of 2/3 children named that, about 11yos now.

I really like Anastasia and Genevieve. Lots of these style I like. I Now now of two baby Vincents - not keen on that one too much myself but it's not dreadful.

It's much modern or made up names I don't like: Zillion anyone?!

SoMuch those might be archangel names - Raphael and Oriel (although wiki spells it Uriel.

Teenage years spent singing cathedral music sent me down that mental rabbit hole!!

Harry
Harry
Harry and Harry

Harry was very popular on our campsite!

Sat on a train the other day and came across a family. With kids named Georgia, Stevie, Vinny and Freddie - cringe!

Soft play with Cosmo and Ludo

School with Enzo

Also know an Indy and a Casper

Melody

Caja (Cornish name produced cayja), I really like this one.

Can't think of any others right now.

My friends DD has a name which is the name of a native american tribe I won't say which one in case it outs me

Girls: Shelby, Maiya, Honey, Ixia, Arielle, Xanthe, Joan

Boys: Everton, Joachim, Jeremy, Solomon, Sampson

Stanley is very popular oop north. Don't like it at all, especially Stan as an abbreviated form.

Arthur, Iris and Stanley are all becoming really quite popular. I know several Stanleys round here (south east)

I heard a little girl called Echo, was quite amusing as her mum had to repeatedly call her to come back

There was a Mercedes from Yorkshire on our campsite. Never heard that name in real life before.

Have you actually heard those names oubliette I think you are the winner

My son's name is mentioned on this thread! Thankfully not too negatively.

Heard a Phoeniiix this summer, and Liberty. And a Jago, which I thought was a name that only existed on mumsnet. All very nice names.

Yep - I know children with all of those names. A mixture of kids from school and names friends/colleagues have used for their children. I could add several more to the list too (DH went to boarding school and his firends are quite adventurous when in comes to naming children).

Ooh ooh we met a Tinkerbell this year on holiday

Gaaah - can't type!!! DH has friends who are adventurous when it comes to naming children.

Little lad today called Wisdom, which is a lot of pressure to put on a small boy!

There was a Fox on Cbeebies Birthday card time earlier this week
