Noah is superpopular and may soon date, Arlo is becoming popular.

Benedict is quite unusual and really lovely, but the short form Ben is super popular (lots of Bens and Benjamins) again.

I work with parents with small babies. In my area there is a tendency to choose classic names over fashionable ones. Never had an Arlo, maybe one Noah (I only know a 7 year old one), a few Bens but usually Benjamin.

Maybe its an odd demographic though as I see my own kids names on here all the time and have never come across a baby one.

This website is great for checking trends: names.darkgreener.com/

I have a 5 yr old Arlo. When he was born we discovered the name in a book and had never heard of it before. We have come across a few since, mainly people in garden centres or supermarket who hear us saying his name and are so surprised to hear another Arlo they just have to say so! I think it is becoming more popular but nothing like Noah yet. Know loads of Noahs, only one Benedict.
