Home Counties

[Stickytiggy]

Hi,

For anyone living in the Home Counties or teaching there, what are the most popular names?

Thanks all!

I thought I'd be suggesting not Berkshire or he'll be nicknamed Berk.
I believe that Balonz is somewhat overused especially in Surrey.

MikeUniformMike - you beat me to it!

I was going to say: Kent is OK for a boy, but probably don't call your DD Essex or West Sussex!

You can check the Official ONS top 100 by region @Stickytiggy
That will be a far more reliable way of finding out what's popular

George, Henry, Max, Albert/Albie, Toby, Hayden, Jackson
Isabelle/la, Evie, Annabelle, Sienna, Summer, Lottie, Scarlett, Elizabeth

I have 3 DCs. Names of kids that appear twice or more in or across their classes are:
Max, Benjamin, Jack, Toby, Samuel, William
Grace, Stella, Isabelle, Freya, Charlotte

Top ten boys in SE England 2018:

1 OLIVER
2 GEORGE
3 ARTHUR
4 HARRY
5 JACK
6 NOAH
7 OSCAR
8 HENRY
9 LEO
10 THOMAS

Top ten girls:

1 OLIVIA
2 AMELIA
3 AVA
4 ISLA
5 EMILY
6 FLORENCE
6 MIA
8 GRACE
9 SOPHIA
10 IVY

I live in the Home Counties and there seem to be lots of:

William, Oliver, Harry, Teddy (short for Edward and Theodore), Dylan, Alexander, James, Thomas, Elliot/Elliott, Oscar, Freddie/Frederick.

Eva/Evie/Ava (absolutely loads of these), Isla, Willow, Poppy, Phoebe lots of two syllable names beginning with L such as Lyra/Luna/Lucy/Lily.

Strangely though I have hardly come across these names in the Home Counties, which are statistically popular across the UK:

• Jack, Noah
• Mia, Sophia, Ella, Grace
