Traditional but not too popular?

48 replies

I love traditional names but ones that there won’t be several others in the school year.
I love names like Maximillian, Violet, Zack, Eliza.
So names that everybody will have heard of (nothing made up or fashionable) but aren’t too popular that id shout them at a park and 5 children would come running!
Thanks 😊

Define popular

Over 1000 born that year? Over 500 born that year? Over 100 born that year?

Outside 1,000 - Violet, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Emma. Frederick, Gabriel, Stanley, Michael.

Outside 500 - Victoria, Sarah, Alexandra, Annie. Patrick, Owen, Nathaniel, Nicholas.

Outside 100 - Rowan, Lauren, Genevieve, Hermione, Camilla, Stephanie, Louise. Montgomery, Wilbur, Lawrence, Alistair.

Want to go rogue? Fewer than 50? Bethan, Cordelia, Claire, Bridget, Paula, Elspeth, Juliana. Deacon, Wesley, Aubrey, Caspian, Benedict.

Violet Gabriel and Stanley are certainly not outside the top 1000. I'm tripping over them. Confused

I assume that you live in a mc area Not representative of the majority of the country where Stanley would be flat or Matthews

It really does depend on your area too. What is common in one could be very unusual in another.

My DS' name is not unusual but not overly used in our hometown, we moved to and it seems like every second child his age shares it! Although tbh he's a teen now and it's never been an issue 🤷‍♀️

My top names wouldn't be overly popular here but I like;
Issac
Thomas
Aaron
Callum
Evan
Elliott

Erin
Alanna
Francesca
Cassie
Rona

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 04/10/2021 02:18

Zack is popular (often shortened from Isaac or Zachary)
