MNHQ here: Which baby name tribe do you belong to?

[AnnaCMumsnet]

Hello, MNHQ here

Today the ONS have released their top baby names for 2018. (Spoiler: Oliver and Olivia both still hold the number one slots).

To coincide with the release we have been analysing our baby name boards and identified 13 baby name tribes - from the Tried, trusted, traditionalists (who prefer names like Oliver and Olivia, which top the ONS chart), to Classy classicists (Ptomely and Persephone) and Super moderns (Jaxon and Bear).

Then, using statistical textual analysis techniques, Mumsnet’s data science team analysed more than 4,000 threads and 170,000 posts to flesh out each tribe and uncover connections between them.

Like Ptomely? Then you might like Nigel. Like Bear? Then you might also be talking about Jeremy.

We've got lots more examples, including pretty graphics.

So which tribe do you fall into?

Royal, Grandparent and flower power so quite a combination I suppose!

Ummm not sure really.. I'm in the as uncommon as possible but too rediculous tribe.

My favorite boy and girl name (after my own daughters) weren't even on the list at all!!!!

I'm a 'Cautious Celt'

Shortened and sweet.

Flower power

I’m in the ‘normal names’ tribe.

royal babies and cautious celt

Royal, traditionalist and grandparent chic.

I can only see 3 graphics so I don't know what tribe I fall into! Are there more complete lists or all the graphics anywhere?

Normal names for me too

There’s no such thing as a baby tribe.

I like the grandparent chic ones. But not all of them.

None of them.

Pretty pleased I don’t fall into any

I like some from each set.

What does that say about me?

Fickle? Easily pleased? Permanently confused?

Disney Divas which I resent, given she's named after a natural phenomenon and not a bloody Disney princess

Divinely inspired (but not from the Bible) here.

Really interesting to see the names grouped. I can see the names of friends children tend to be in the same group.

How is everyone else seeing all the group's/tribes? I can only see three of them

I can't believe that anyone has actually named their child 'Canary'

Cautious Celt, Hidden Gem and a bit traditional here.

Mine don’t seem to fall into any of those categories - and I wouldn’t say their names are that unusual either

Mine don't fall into any of your sets either.

Maybe classy classicists, if I had to choose...

Super moderns, with most popular names including Bear, Jaxon, Leilani and Canary

Wtf, no way has anyone named their child Canary, let alone it being a ‘most popular’ name. Bullshit MNHQ.

Well both of my children’s names and my name are under Royal, so I guess that is what we are, although I don’t know how that is different to Traditional.

I’m not a cautious Celt, I’m a full on, dont care who can’t pronounce it or if it looks like a load of scrabble tiles proper old Irish names tribe member.

Second favourite are royals and grandparents.
