Hello! I’ve been scouring the lists of baby names, but wondered (for those of you who know lots of children aged around 0-5 today), what are the most popular boy’s names that you’re seeing?

Arthur, Theo, Vincent, Patrick, Kaleb

GreenCrayon · 11/06/2021 09:50

Anything beginning with an 'A'

Arlo, Albie, Albert, Archie, Alfie, Artie, Arthur and so on.

It's like 99% of those with a baby boy around here couldn't muster the energy to get past the first few pages of the baby name book. Grin

I know an Oakley, that's getting popular.
I think Teddy is ok when you're cute and about 3, but a bit babyish when they are 23!

That made me laugh hard 🤣

For me it's

Henry
Albert
Isaac
Levi
Finn (name of my nephew, even after years, I still struggle to like the name)

GreenCrayon · 11/06/2021 15:28

Haha this is so true!

It really is. I took DS to a baby group the other day and he was the only one out of 9 boys with a name that didn't start with the letter 'A'.

I can only imagine what his class list will look like when he starts school and have nothing but pity for his teacher who is bound to get themselves muddled trying to get their heads around having a room full of little 'A' s' Grin
