Most popular baby names in London?

[Minihands]

What names are you hearing the most?

Olivia, Lottie, Mia, Lily, Poppy, Eva

Jude, Teddy, Joshua, Noah, Iris, Olivia, Sophia, Isabella.

My brother, who lives in London, says all the boys round him are called Finlay, Stanley and Toby (he's tuned into them, having a boy himself) Don't know about girls I'm afraid.

Sophie, Isabella (and variants thereof)

Benjamin, Oscar, William

The ones I know aren't as common but I know:

Aniyah/Anaiah/Anaia all born in the last year.
I know 2 Inez/Ines
2 Teddy's

Lots of Isobel's, Florence's and Henry's.

Theo
Margot

Violet's and Leo's are everywhere. Ditto Isabelle / Isabella.

Theo, Noah, Isaac, Toby, Luca/Lucas.

Isabella, Ottillie (I know 3 under 3!), Evelyn, Rosa, Eloise (again i know 3).

Every little white boy in London is called Oscar, Ethan or Harry.

All the girls are called Amelie.

Up to what age counts as a baby?

Names I've heard recently are Khadija, Emmy, Matthew and Kwame

Oscar
Isabella
Thalia
Litlith
Arlo
Jude
Clemmence
Rain
Sebastian

Muhammad is the top boy's name in London

It's true that we are all probablyndocusing on our small local communities and not a pan-London perspective. They are areas where names from other countries will absolutely dominate.

I should add Arlo to the list. It's an abomination of a name but it's everywhere.

Funnily I have never met a baby Ethan or Harry in London @Mrsmeeseeks. I wonder whether there are big variations just within little neighbourhoods of London.

Arlo, Ronnie, Reggie, Ted, Kit

Olivia, Amelia, Romilly, Isla, Evie

Noah, Leo, Charlie and Theo for boys, and Matilda, Evie and Connie for girls where I am.

Boys are
Ethan, Elliot, Sonny, Arlo and anything that can have a nickname "Bertie". The trend for Fox as middle name has kind of passed but I still hear of one or two. Met a few Sebastians recently. Oscar, Max. I know a hell of a lot of Frankies aged 2 and under. There are three Titus' round here but I think that's an anomaly.

Girls
Ottilie, Amelie, Emmeline, Isabella (and variants), Iris, Astrid, Eliza, Margot, Poppy.

It's officially Oscar.

For girls there's much more variety. I couldn't say one stands out.

But Oscar...oh boy.

Finns and Elodies. Oliver and Evie are around too. A few Jemimas here.

It depends where in London you're talking, doesn't it?

Where my Nan lives, all the boys seem to be called Abdul or Muhammad.

In Chelsea it's a lot of baby Sophie and Elizabeth

In my old area, it's all ridiculous "Hallie-Mai" etc etc

I know an Oscar, Finlay, Teddy, Stanley, Alfie, Thierry, Suveer, James, Beau, Robert, Toby, Joseph, Patrick.

For girls Amelia, Olivia, Ellie, Georgia, Molly, Martha, Edie, Evelyn, Summer, Maya, Gracie.

Actually most of my London friends have picked boys names like James, Mark, Matthew, Robert, George.
They are fine but a little too traditional (boring) for my taste.

Ons has statistics on this, its Mohammed and Amelia in London.
