I like trawling the ONS historical baby names data

www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/datasets/babynamesenglandandwalestop100babynameshistoricaldata

Top 100 names from 1904.

Thanks all,
I'm not sure I like the boys versions after all 🙈 I like Arthur but I don't like when it's pronounced with an F rather than th lol

My favourite is Louis but DH isn't keen so trying to come up with alternatives

Look on war memorials for names. Sad but helpful

Horace, no-one has mentioned Horace.
