Ahead of tomorrow ONS release

[Cbeebiesrehab]

Predictions? (Not sure if this thread has been done yet?)

I think it’s next Monday?
I wish it was tomorrow, lol!!!

Ah bugger!!!! Got my dates wrong 😂

🤣🤣🤣 got me excited @Cbeebiesrehab

Yes it's next monday ❤️ Let's reconvene then!

Noah and Oliver top 5 for boys! Probs Amelia and Poppy and Olivia somewhere in the top 10 for girls too. I don't think there'll be much change.

I'm predicting a rise in popularity of Felix though, I'm hearing it a lot recently!

I reckon Theo in the top five

Remember this was covid year so I am thinking we will see a rise of names such as ‘hope’ & ‘faith’

I think Arthur is moving closer to number 1. Same with Theo and Albie.
For girls, I'm hearing a lot of Arya and Elsie.

We're planning on calling our daughter Lyra and I think that will have had a steep rise.

I'm a bit miffed as we chose the name 10 years+ ago but we still love it enough to use it even with its increased popularity over recent years.

At work we have many, many Arthur’s, Henry’s, Alfie’s (Artie/Archie etc) Noah’s and Finley’s

Girls it’s all about Isabelles, Elsies, Ella, Isla’s (usually followed by a May/Mae)

I've heard of about 3 baby Florences born in the last year so I wonder if that will have moved up.

I reckon Noah will be high - agree with PP that Hope, Faith, Grace will likely have risen too

We had a thread about this previously and these are mine (copied and pasted from last thread!)

My predictions for the boys:

• Oliver still to remain at 1st, and George at 2nd
• Alfie and Archie to fall out of top 20
• Teddy, Edward, Theo and Theodore all to rise
• Noah to fall, but still be in top ten
• Hugo to rise from 48th
• Bobby to rise from 68th and Robert from 115th
• Eli to rise from 107th
• Oakley to fall out of top 100 (at 98th in 2019 data)
• Dexter to rise from 114th
• Otis to rise from 124th
• Vincent to rise from 136th
• Nathaniel to rise from 137th
• Logan to fall from 29th

And the girls....:

• Harper to fall from 29th
• Willow to rise slightly from 19th
• Penelope to rise from 41st
• Top 20 to remain with majority of names starting with a vowel
• Arabella to rise from 71st
• Anna to rise from 82nd
• Thea to rise from 46th
• Chloe to fall from 39th
• Margot to rise from 94th
• Lara to rise from 97th
• Beatrix to rise from 164th
• Seren to rise from 196th
• Phoebe to rise slightly from 22nd

I'm ridiculously excited about the release.

@finallychangedmyusername loving these predictions! Hope the Dark Greener website is updated soon after the stats too..

I placing my bet on Rainbow having a steep rise.

I don't think they release middle names because I reckon there's a few Coronas as a middle name!

Theo has to be in the top 10 surely

Arlo will rise.

Arthur and Arlo increasing in popularity I think. 3 out of 10 babies at my baby group were Arlo!

I think Harry and Henry will rise. Pretty much everyone I know who had a baby boy in 2020 named them Harry or Henry.

Arthur and Charlie are other ones I'm hearing a lot.

I can see Lyra rising on the back of the new TV adaptation that started in late 2019.

Otherwise I think names ending in an O sound like Hugo, Milo, Arlo and Jago will rise, esp. Hugo and Arlo.

I'm very excited too!!!

Although I don't predict any major shocks. In fact I think there won't be much movement at all.

Oh yes definitely a rise for Lyra.
Wonder if Lilibet will feature at all?

Arlo and Milo are beautiful names, couldn’t use either as DH didn’t like them 😕

Too soon for Lilibet I think.

Archie and Louis maybe.

@AdriannaP

It's the 2020 stats so Meghan's baby wouldn't have been born until the next year. Think it was a fairly niche name so can't see Lillibet making last year's top 100

We're probably going to call this baby Theo but sounds like so are the rest of the world!!

Captain Tom was a big star last year so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Thomas/Tom rise :)

I also reckon Dorothy, Cora and Indie will have risen.
