Totally stole this idea from someone else...

[bluemoon2468]

...but please could you rank our top boys and girls names in order of preference (1 to 6)? Going to make a little spreadsheet and compare them by popularity (blame furlough boredom)! Such a good idea and I'm very curious to see the results!

Boys:
Caspar
Franklin
Leon
Theodore
Felix
Idris

Girls:
Ada
Iris
Aria
Eve
Autumn
Dorothy

1. Theodore (lovely name, but extremely popular right now. Every other little boy I know is a Theo) To be honest, don't like any of the others due to their connotations, but if I had to rank them:
2. Leon (nice name, but sadly reminds me of the film Leon: The Professional, about a hitman)
3. Idris (Elba)
4. Franklin (not keen on surnames as first names)
5. Caspar (Ghost)
6. Felix (Cat food)

Conversely, I really like all your girl's names except for Dorothy, which makes me think of Dorothy Perkins and the Wizard of Oz. Several of the others were on our shortlist for girls but didn't go with our surname.

Okay I've totalled up the first 20 answers and these are the results:

1. Theodore
2. Caspar and Leon (joint)
3. Franklin
4. Felix
5. Idris

1. Eve
2. Iris
3. Ada
4. Aria
5. Autumn
6. Dorothy

Definitely confirms to me that Theodore is not the way to go for us, much as I love it. It's just way too popular!

Thanks so much everyone, so helpful 😊
