Fad test...

Was warming to a girls name, which was in no way unique, but didn't think was going to 'take off' anytime soon... Now Ive heard it mentioned a fair few times on here. I reckon if you guys can guess it within say 10 posts, I'm heading towards a fad name Grin Go for it....

Claudia. It's been about a lot this week on the boards.

Btw both of my DC's names have been described on here as about to be everywhere. They've both gone up a bit but still outside top 200. I think they're just mn type names.

I've been delighted that one in particular was always lived by everyone and I've seen it slated a fair amount this week.

If mn baby names were a true indicator, toddler groups would be drowning in Persephones.

Yy Too. My DD (12) is an Esme. I've only ever met one other, and everyone always says how pretty and unusual it is. And we live in the poncey southeast!

Interesting not guessed yet... Shows how your perception plays tricks on you on here! And the name was ..... Margot

I don't think Margot will take off like Isla did.

curlew · 28/09/2013 10:56

But don't worry about it anyway. I named my dd something classic but obscures and within 2 years it was in the top 2. There's nothing you can do about it. And it doesn't really matter- dd's name is still in the top few, but the only other one she knows is, bizarrely, her best friend. And they love sharing a name- they are known as [the name] squared.

Sylvie?
meryn?

PrunellaDeVille · 28/09/2013 11:08

oops sorry missed the big reveal. Margot's lovely but yes likely to be very now though not ubiquitous
