Rapid risers.... what do you think?

[thamesk8]

I know we can’t predict the future, but we can have a bloody good go...

Names like Poppy, Sienna, Isla came from nowhere and now everywhere.
They’re lovely but they’ll probably be the next Claire, Nicola, Laura of the 70s/80s or the Debbie, Julie, Sharon of the 50s/60s...

Any guesses as to what will be the next set....

Girls - Ava, Ivy and Isla

Boys - Teddy, Stanley, Leo are everywhere!

I've met a few Ezras and Edens recently. Not sure they'll ever be really popular though.

I think baby names are very localised

I have seen 3 Finley’s in one class, lots and lots of Oliver’s ( a name I thought had passed its peak a few years back) and Poppy being v popular

But I do think it depends on your own circle and school as some of the most popular names may not be as popular depending on where you are

Also loads of Ted and Teddy all of a sudden nice name but one of those where people probably think they are being quite original only to find there are loads of them

Girls - Rose, Ava, Eva

Boys - Arlo, Archie and Roman

I’ve met 2 baby boys called Robin recently, is that on the rise?

Any variant of Isabel/la has been done to a death but it continues to rise (as it is very pretty).
Ava, Ivy, Sophie, Poppy, Isla...

Finley, Oliver, Theo, Otis and Ted all very popular here in SE.

Oscar, Harry and Imogens as far as the eye can see around here.

Finley, Harry, Rory
Ava, Florence, "old lady" names in general!

I agree. Jemima is on our list for number 3.
There are about 4 in my town and everyone seems to know one. However still very far down the popularity charts....

I’m torn!!!

Conversely I’ve met a newborn Gareth who is being called Gary and my sister in law’s sister is pregnant and they are considering Suzanne...

Is this the start of baby boomer regurgitation names?!
