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

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?

Nigel & Keith? I simply don’t believe enough people want these to be in a tribe Grin

Classy classicists

Classy classicists here!

I assume I must be a cautious Celt although I am intrigued as to how I am cautious!

Flower power, shortened and sweet and tried, trusted traditionalists so a bit of a mix.

I'd have said Classy Classicist but I really dislike Ptolemy (and especially Ptomely!).
