It’s mid table names that never seem to get mentioned on here (as in names around the 50 mark on the names list)

For example names like Blake, Joshua, Chloe, Daniel, Michael, Maisie never really get mentioned.

However names that in everyday life are extremely rare (eg Vivienne and Silas) are mentioned all the time on here, yet there’s only a handful of babies that have actually been given those names

@MissHenty yes agree. There are loads of names that are maybe 300th, 400th but suggested a lot.
And some of the names people are suggesting here are never mentioned because they’re basically obsolete.
I actually think the most popular names like Amelia, Olivia, Oliver are suggested less than you would expect.

@Cookit yes agree it’s interesting isn’t it. Pretty rare names like Alistair (no 471 on name charts) are suggested far more than names like Joshua (top 20)

I think names that sit around the 100 mark in the charts are suggested the most (eg names like Jasper ). Perhaps people on here assume names like Jacob and Noah will already have been considered by the OP

I really like Lyra as from His Dark Materials. Maybe it’ll gain some popularity with the new TV show starting tomorrow!

Barbara! I also love Perdita
