Just curious as to what the new name trends might have been for this year. Are there names that you have noticed becoming popular? Amongst the babies I know born in 2018 there were:
2 x Rory
3 x Jacob
2 x Megan
2x Joel

I have met a grand totals of 8 Fin/Finns this year, and 2 Finlays. So probably that. It was on the shortlist for DS but quite glad we went with a different name (even if DHs family absolutely hate it and keep telling me he'll get bullied for it).

I agree about the ie names.
So many Achie, Freddie, Frankie, Alfie plus Henry and George.
Girls, Evie, Edie, Evelyn, Lara.

Elijah is really popular at the moment and I cant stand it for some reason unfortunately I have had 2 in mu family in the past 12 months so im just going to have to get used to it.

I've heard a few Eli's and Blake's
Aiden seems to crop up a lot too

Still hearing a lot of Lily and ....-Mai for girls

Sienna, Summer and Alba for girls. Isabella and Isla are still going strong. Still a fair sprinkling of Evie/Ava/Evelyns.

Blake, Isaac and Charlie for boys.
