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!

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 27/02/2015 21:06

I do actually know of lots of Olivias, maybe they're all the ones bumping it up the list!

Also Isla, Evie/Eva/Ava type names, and as pps have said xxxx-Rose is popular.

marshmallowpies · 27/02/2015 21:06

Ooh yes Lucifer - all middle names are either Grace, Rose or May/Mae. (Not dissing them - I think Grace and Rose are both lovely, May isn't quite so much my cup of tea personally)

BadIdeaBear · 27/02/2015 21:14

Evie seems everywhere.

Amelia/Amelie/Emilia - in the lead by a long shot
Maisie/Maisy
Ella - usually they are given a longer name, e.g. Elisha/Eleanor, but always known as Ella
Evie
Isabella/Isabel etc
And several friends would have chosen Isla had they had girls.

i love this kind of post- when I was pregnant Isla was absolutely what we would call a girl and then i came on here and was turned off. interestingly however i called my daughter Scarlett and on occasion strangers have said they know of more than one. I am yet to come across another and it hasn't been on here. im not even sure if it's inside the top 20?

I know a silly amount of Evie's, with a few Eve's and many many Ava-Rose's. my Nanna is Rose and I wanted to use this name but was turned off by popularity!

Also know of many Imogen's, Phoebe's, Eliza's, Millie's and Ellie type names.

In older generations (7-8yr year olds as opposed to babies) I know lots of Brooke's and Holly's.

rockinrobintweet · 27/02/2015 22:19

All the names mentioned are by others are very popular here. Dd2 was nearly Lucy but 3 were born to friends in the months before her arrival.
Most popular at moment seems to be Niamh (various spelling) think it will be this generations Lindsay!

  1. Florence
  2. Evie
  3. Poppy
  4. Bella

I am tripping over these girls in the 3 year old age group. I met three girls called Poppy just at the park yesterday and my son has two of them in his class of only 12 pupils. We will be avoiding these names!
