What girls' names are you hearing most now?

86 replies

Interested in the "boy" version of this below, so thought I'd see what the unofficial "on-trend" names are for girls at the moment?

So, to repeat the question the previous OP wrote: What baby girl names are you hearing of lots now in your circles/on TV etc rather than what's "officially" in the top ten?

I'm struck by how few Olivias and Amelias I have met even though they are supposedly the top 2

But I have met loads of: Evie; Ellie/Ella; Poppy; Sophia (LOADS of these!) and, rather unexpectedly, quite a few named Elise recently!

just out of interest - Elise? as in German late C18th/early C19th name? (not Elsie, Else, or Elsa?)

I've literally never heard of an Elise outside that context...

Oh and Lyra! I know 8 born in the last 3 months Shock

jimmycrackcornbutidontcare · 27/02/2015 20:20

I suppose it would be Ellie and Ella and Erin. I've only met about 3 of each and I have 3 DC so there aren't that many of them.
