What baby boy names are you hearing of lots now in your circles/on TV etc rather than what's "officially" in the top ten?

They love Finn round here.

Also in DS reception class there are 4 Benjamin's!

I was surprised, I have a Ben who is 2 I thought his name wouldn't be that popular

Jammy - where are you? I like the name Benjamin and didn't think it was that popular either... Maybe it is just in certain parts of the country?

scrivette · 16/02/2015 17:14

Oliver and Henry.

charlyn · 16/02/2015 17:20

Noah! Also Benjamin, Joshua, Oliver and Dylan

Charlie is by far the most popular name at our school - at least 2 per class. Also James, George and Henry..

Of newborns, it's Milo, Austin and Arthur I'm hearing a lot of here (south west)

Lunastarfish · 16/02/2015 17:45

based on my facebook friends - Oliver, Archie and Jacob.

4 Archies and 2 Jacobs born over a one year period
2 Olivers born since December

There are five Sams in dd's reception class. Five! Also loads of overtly religious names like Noah, Reuben, Elijah. But not Matthew Mark Luke and John. Now those would actually be refreshing!

Noah, Oscar and Arthur.
