[Needaboysname277]

Anyone working within a nursery setting or attending baby groups.
please share which boy names are loved at the moment and are popular.
popularity is not a problem to me as it shows names are well liked.
TIA

Oscar, Rory, Ralph

It will be very area dependent. Currently around me, the most popular names I hear on baby/toddler boys are Jude, Arlo and Teddy.

At primary age, Noah, Oscar, Archie and Oliver are all big.

Leo, Jude, Archie, Noah, Ethan

Arlo, Dylan, Theo, Noah. All lovely names.

Freddie by a mile - Fred, Frederick, Freddie. Absolutely rife.

Two Harrisons at DD’s nursery too weirdly

Arlo

Other than that there don’t seem to be that many repeats actually.

Freddie

Theodore shortened to Theo or Teddy

Kingsley

And all the above!

Arlo, George, Jude, Noah

Theo, Leo and Albie

I’m hearing a lot of Joseph recently which I really love

as above, and Otto!

Alfie, Archie, Freddie, Theo, Arthur

Oscar, Oliver, Hugo, Rupert, Hunter and Henry, but also a few old biblical names, Eli, Abel and Felix.

Louis/Louie, Theo, Harry, Freddie, George, William, Charlie, Oscar, Alex, Thomas, Henry, Reuben, Angus.

It feels like a rule that it has to be Noah or Oliver

Arlo
arthur
oscar
freddie
oliver
alexander

Arlo, Jude, Albie, Otis, George, Lucas

Just look up the ONS list of baby names born in 2022 and 2023!

Popular names are rarely objectively nice, rather they are fashionable for a while until they fall out of fashion again.

Personally I prefer less popular and more timeless names.

Oscar
Remi/Remy
Finn
Jack
Noah
Ollie
Seb

Freddie- I know 5 born in the last few weeks
felix
toby
Dylan

Rory and Charlie.
i have 1 child in year 1, and another starting school in September and there’s 7 Charlie’s between their year groups and 4 Rory’s 🤦‍♀️

I'll add Seb and Felix to mine as well. Felix would really have suited one of mine, but I didn't love it enough. He would've been the third in his year!

Theo, Noah, Finley

I’ve meet a few toddlers called Tobias nn Toby recently

Finn
Sebastian
