What girls names do you hear all the time?

[Bobian123]

Just that really. I have a shortlist but would rather not go for anything that's overly popular. So instead of me telling you the names, could you say what names you hear a lot?!

Hmm. Well that pretty much covers off my shortlist! missy (or anyone else with an Amelia) - does it bother you that it's so popular? That's my number one name but it seems quite a few others like it too....

Isabelle/Izzy/Belle/bella
Ellie/Ella
Olivia
Molly
Lily
Poppy
Daisy
Grace/Gracie

And lots of names with -May and -Rose

Variants of:

Isabel
Eva/Evie
Ellie
Poppy
Grace
Anna
Sophia

If you want to avoid popular, avoid -ie or -ia sounds at the end. They all merge to one mass. Millie, Tilly, Ellie, Evie and Sophia, Isabella, etc

OP- do you know the ONS produce name lists each year showing popularity for England and Wales. Amelia is a top 5 name currently I think.

Eve, Evie, and all forms of Isabelle ,

Ava
Amelie
Amelia
Eva
Emily
Sophia and its variations
Isabel and its variations

Ella Amelia Maisy Heidi

Emily Emma grace jessica isabella and variants evie ava

Emily tilly ava eva/evie/Evelyn Sophia Isabel/Isabella

Ava, Eva, Evie, Elsie, Esme, Sophie, Amelia, Jessica, Isabella, Matilda

Eva/Evie, Ava, Olivia, Emily, Sophia, Isabel (and other spellings), Poppy, Tilly etc.

Oh and also Olivia, Clara.

Isla
Evie
Lily
Jessica
Amelia
Olivia
Lucy
Matilda

Eve/Evie/Ava are the most popular names in dd's class. No Amelia's.

Babies seem to be named Ava, Evie, Isla, Katie, and Ella.

Don't do it op. These names have lost all charm through over use and I speak as someone who nearly called their first born Olivia thank god I wished up at the last minute - there were 3 I the first baby class I went to.

Lots of decent underused names

Mary
Tess
Zoe
Miranda

The world does not need any more Amelia, Sophie's or eves . She won't thank you ( have tedious common seventies name myself)

Ava, Eva, Evie, Sophie, Martha & Olivia.

Chloe
Emily
Isla
Amy
Lily
I find there are huge regional varations (I'm in Scotland). I have DDs in nursery and in school and have never met an Amelia.
I say if you love the name, then go for it. Popular names are popular for a reason - they're great names.

This site is really good to see name trends. I am due in May and I've been obsessed with it.

I hear flower names a lot. Good luck

I've just looked at Amelia on there ^ and it's very, very popular.

Eve/Eva/Ava
Emily/Amelia/Amélie (or Ammerley which is what it always sounds like when pronounced in English)
Maya/Maia

It's really hard but I agree that Amelia is the Joanne of my generation (there were 3 in my class at school). It's a shame because it's a lovely name.

I have an Isobel and even though it's very popular, it suits her and I still like it. It depends whether you like the name enough to get past how many other Amelias there will be.

Lily, Harriet, Imogen, daisy here
