What girls' names are you hearing most now?

[fionadal]

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!

In DD1's class the only duplicate girls name is Eve. In DD2's there are two Isobels and one Isobella. In DS' nursery there are three Ella's.

Thanks everyone. Interesting reading!

Yes to OP above- Elise. NOT Elsie/Elsa (tho' know a few of them too). There are two in one class at my son's pre-school, and another just born to a friend. They're probably the only three in the UK though - sorry, 4 as someone above said she had an Elise. Funny how names cluster.

Amazed that Cara, Aoife and Astrid are so common in wigglesrock's post. I have met one each of these but would have never have imagined them to be very popular- nice though they are!

Eva, Evie, lily, Mia, Amelia, Charlotte or Lottie all very popular here. I know what you mean though, I like Ava but would be put off by popularity, despite the fact I've never met one.

Isla. At one rhymetime session recently there were three Islas and one Ella out of 12 kids total!

And Lily and May/Mae/Mai

Lily
Evelyn is everywhere in the last few months (sw)

Ella
Evie
Florence
Isobel/Isabelle etc (nn Izzy)
Beatrice
And LOADS of Amelia's and Amelie's

All v. pretty names IMO though so can see their attraction

Iris
Amelia/Amelie
Lily
Scarlett

Evie
Isabel/le
Amelie
Ava
Ella/ie
Connie! (think that's probably regional tho')

These children I know more than 5 of:

Isabel/Isobel/Isabella
Eve/Evie/Eva
Ellie/Ella
Lily
Madeleine / Madeline
Amelie / Amelia / Emilia

Olivia
Lily
Grace
Annabel
Zara/Zahra

These are both locally and amongst friends around the country. I know at least 3 of each under 5. I have yet to meet an Eva/Eve/Evie/Ava

Tilly
Eva/evie/ava
Ella/ellie
Sophia
Isabelle/isabella
Poppy
Emily
Florence

Isabella, Sophia, Amelia, Lily, Charlotte

Eva
Isla
Holly

Evie

My niece is Elise and she is 10 never come across the name since x

Isobel and all versions of
Isla sooooo many
Florence
Ava/eves etc
Tallulah
Grace
Amelie/Amelia/ etc

I think generally there's a bit more variety with girls' names. Here it's George and Oscar everywhere for boys. But I find I hear lots of different girls' names.

That said, in terms of multiples, I do know two baby Beatrices born in the last six months. And two Arabellas.

I know about 47 million Evas. Seriously, it's getting silly how many of them there are around here.

Assuming we all stay living in the same area my 22mo dd will also be in a class with multiple Jessicas, Isabelles, Lilys and Islas.

Lol at 47 million Evas. But yes, it is something like that.
I know loads, - and loads with the vowel-v-vowel thing - Eve, Eva, Ava, Ivy, - some short for something, e.g. Evelyn, Evangeline, but all known as Evie.

Iris is on the rise

Yes Iris! I know of three toddlers called Iris in my area

Phoebe - love it and seems to have made a comeback around here too!

North London

Aoife
Eva
Emily

Annabel (the new Isabelle? )
Sophie
Jessica
Eliza
Matilda

We had Elise and Elisa on our list for DD born last year but popularity of Eliza and it likely being mistaken for that put us off
