Just thought it'd be interesting to see what names you all hear often. I'm due a boy in January and will try and avoid the names named on this threadGrin I'll start off...

Alfie
Arlo

TheSunlightsCreepingIn · 22/10/2018 20:20

I'm surprised at
Ezra
Emmanuel
Zachariah

I have met a baby Ezra but just one, very religious parents.

All the Zack's here are just Zack or Zackary

There must be regional trends too.

TheSunlightsCreepingIn · 22/10/2018 20:41

The ie names for boys as well as girls do seem very common. Sweet on little ones but seem a bit cutesy on grown ups.

LethalWhite · 22/10/2018 20:45

Dunno, I'd much rather be called Freddie or Henry than Jax or Jaxon
