What names are you hearing a lot of?

What the title says!

I'm hearing a lot of Arlo, Arthur, Jude, Lily, Evie, Maeve, Margot and also Effie.

Theo (so many!), Arthur, Arlo, Oscar, Ezra, Reuben, Wilf, Rudy/Rudi, Otis, Albie

Florence, Mabel, Violet, Ivy, Esme, Lyra, Maeve, Edith/Edie, Margot, Rosie

We've found the same! Everyone on here goes on about how common it is but my Jude is the only one I know in our local area. I know of 2 others through friends on Facebook, that don't live so near. When we've visited somewhere we've heard one little boy called Jude before. People always seem surprised when I say his name as though they haven't heard it much! It is funny how it seems to differ by area.
Here Albie and Arlo are the ones I always hear.
We are in East Anglia.

Muhammad (dif spellings)
Lily
Amber

Met a 2 year old Cecil the other day .....not sure about it tho.

The usual with girls - Ava/Eva/Evie etc, Amelia, Isla/Ailla, Eleanor (Ellie)
With boys - Oliver, Oscar, Arlo, Fred/Freddie... and oddly a lot of Italian inspired names. I've met more than one Enzo, a Romeo, Giuseppe, Rocco.

A lot of the above. But I’ve also recently heard babies being named Lisa, Susan (Suzy), Jennifer (Jenny), Robert, Patrick and Daniel.

People are moving on from the 1930s names and are starting to look to the 60s and 70s for inspiration!

Boys - Albie, Arlo, Luca, Teddy
Girls - All the short names like Ella, Isla, Ava, Ada, Eva, Evie, Ellie that all blend into one. Honestly I’m a PPA teacher of several year groups it’s so hard to learn all the girls names as they are so similar!

I’ve come across lots of Franks/ Frankies recently, for mostly boys but a couple of girls too. I think that name is trending. And Ezra. I also hear lots of Harry, James, Arlo, Finn, Luca. For girls more variation, but multiple Lily, Mia/Maya, Evie, Ava, Isla and there are suddenly lots of Ottilies

Ophelia
Jenson
Ada
Ivy

This is basically my son's reception class

Where are you based @Firebird83? First time I've seen my children's names on a popular mumsnet list ... Or any Mumsnet list come to think of it!! But agree they seem to be very popular around where I am. Annoyingly as they weren't when I was pregnant 😅

Not sure which names but if they are any of these names: Theo, Arlo, Ezra, Reuben, Rudy, Albie and Margot they are quite popular where I am in the East!
