There are also many Ls within the names such as: deLiLah, haLLie, chLoe, ameLie, loLa, scarLett, emeLia etc.
Quite a few Ts as well:
scarleTT, violeT, loTTie, charloTTe.

There's been some talk on here about El- names and out of 14 of the E names 6 of them start with El-. I think Elizabeth is beautiful but it wouldn't surprise me if Tha Kween pops her clogs in the nearish future and a tonne of baby Elizabeth's and Liz's enter England.

The End.

FYI there are very likely things I've missed out/not noticed because I'm not a machine (I'm a bored asshole watching RHONY sipping milkshake plus I got bored and stopped double- checking)

My source was the metro.co.uk

I think the majority of girls' names have always ended in A, followed by other vowels. It seems as though there are more traditional names being used for girls than for boys.

As someone with a Scottish accent, Harper definitely does not end in an ‘a’

Interesting OP! I did some digging around the lower end of the list (for those constantly in search of those rare names!)

10 boys named Theophilus
9 boys named Cedric
9 boys named Lysander
9 boys named Thaddeus
8 boys named Bartholomew
7 boys named Augustine
7 boys named Cornelius
7 boys named Tiberius
6 boys named Balthazar
6 boys named Vaughan
5 boys named Cosimo
4 boys named Crispin
4 boys named Heathcliff
3 boys named Ferdinand
3 boys named Fitzwilliam
3 boys named Marmaduke
3 boys named Marquis
3 boys named Thibault

Interesting op. I assume that you only looked at the top 100?

No names beginning with K?

It definitely doesn't in an Irish accent either.

Some interesting observations there though, OP.

I love Lysander. DP less keen for baby due soon.

Oh I love the ons baby names! Thank you I hadn’t realised they were out. Went on to check my dcs names are still outside the top 1000 and they are.

Notable names outside the top 1000 that I’m guessing we will all have heard of - Rachael, Nicola, Dora, Barbara, Christine, Kathleen, Shannon, Heather, Caroline, Anne - Chris, Roland, Jerome, Maurice, Phillip, Humphrey, Terry, Stan, Clarke, Nick, Derek, Duncan, Lance, Bill, Barry, Gareth, Dale.

Clifford and Dolores are outside the top 3000!
