Names you are bored of hearing...

[Iamstrugglingtopick]

Please help me....

I work in a nursery.

Albie
Bertie
Archie
Harry
Jack
Monty

Evie
Lily
Olivia
Florence
Beatrice

Definitely Harry...that's my sons name...I didn't like it whilst pregnant and truthfully if I could I would change it now. I told my husband he could name him whilst I was under the influence of diamorphine and just being grateful I wasn't dead 🤣 ...he was born the day before Harry and meghans wedding as well 🙄🙄🙄

I am so surprised to see two of my children's names on here! My eldest child you couldn't buy any of those novelty name things with their name when they were born (admittedly nearly two decades ago!). And you still can't get my youngest child's name on any of those things now!

Arthur
Finley
Henry
James
Teddy
Arlo

Olivia
Evie
Freya
Chloe
Mia
Elsie
Poppy

Shouldn't have clicked in this thread haha I have an Arthur and a Evelyn.. Woops

I hate the trend for surnames: Hunter, Parker, Taylor; mason. So tacky. Won't age well

My friend named her child Ferdinanda. I love the name. Very different and cool.

I have an Evelyn/Evie who is in year 6. Despite attending four different primary schools in different parts of the country she has always been the only one in her year group, but I swear every younger child I heard called by their parents at pick up on Friday was called Evie, so it’s quite a specific demographic.

Isla... There's 4 in DD's year 1 class alone. And I personally know of another handful of babies born in the last 2 years with the name. It's like it became super popular 8 years ago, and it seems to still be heavily overused each year.

Evie and Harry - we know at least 10...!

Olivia
Isabelle
Ruby
Jaden
Mason

@Littlefluffyclouds13 there’s nothing smug about it. We all have names we find dull and boring, whether we like it or think it’s kind to admit it or not. Op is asking people directly, names people are bored of hearing. If the question bores you that much why are you here?

Well it's not easy is it? Call your kid Ratchet and everyone's call him Theo and everyone's that's a yawn

Anything on the top 20 list over the last 10 years. I’m not a fan of fashionable names. I think when naming children the name should have meaning rather than taken from a fashion list,

Harry
Isabelle (and all the variants)

And as a genre I'm tired of all the Victorian names likes Florence/Wilfred as well as the Edwardian servant names like Elsie/Archie.

I think I said this in a post the other day but I think Isla will be this generation's Sandra. Rose from relative obscurity to suddenly being everywhere.

I chose a name that's consistently on the top 10 list. I chose it because I love it. I don't take into account other people's choices when I make mine. I wouldn't be put off by a popular name and I wouldn't go out of my way to dream up an unusual name just to be different.

Just go with what you like

Bloody awful Margot, Luna, Emma, Amelia and Emilia, Charlotte, Alice, Jack, Alfie, Jackson....yawn...

Harper

Oliver / Ollie
Archie
Freddy
Toby
Jack

Seriously so many of those I can't stand them any more

So, so, so many Willow’s in our baby classes at the moment. Two Arlo’s in our baby swimming class and more at other baby groups. Quite a few Isabella and Noah’s too

Sophia
George
Jack
Alex
Alfie
Buddy
Amelia

I got a little tired of all girls namies ending in a ie/y sound. So individually they were nice but hearing, evie, millie, molly, poppy, lily, tilly, holly made them merge a bit but i think its flipped away from that and is back to ending with an a sound as the trend. When i was young it was all ending in a - sarah, gemma, julia, emma, tina, lisa, nicola.
So i suppose for a girl its any nsme that doesnt end with ie/y or a. Like Joan

Never met an Arlo. Where do they all live? London?

I wouldn’t say I’m bored of them, but the names I most often hear are Sophia/Sophie, Evie/Eva, Henry and William.

Our large primary school only has 1 Florence and not a single Isla or Amelia, despite these names being popular in the UK for a while now. Names seem to have pockets of popularity.
