Names you expect to climb the charts this year.

[amy480]

Just for fun, any names you’re suddenly hearing more of and expect to climb the ranks when the ONS data is released? My predictions to climb are Elodie, Eloise, Esme, Maeve, Margot, Sylvie, Marigold (Goldie), Daphne, Albert / Albie, Sidney, Sonny, Rowan…

Mavis and Edna.

I met a baby Ethel last week. I can see that rising as it's very Granny Chic".

I absolutely agree with Sylvie. I think I've seen it suggested quite a lot on here.

I think Margot and Maeve have definitely had their moment and are on the way down again.

They were unfashionable for a time then the ones I know are mostly about 10-14 years old now.

Ditto Eloise and Elodie.

August / Gus
Raphael
Rafferty / Raffy
Caspar/Casper
Jasper
Rowan
Robin
Hector
Rudy / Rudi
Otis
Felix
Leonard / Lenny
Otto
Jago
Elio
Some biblical ones like Isaiah, Amos, Abel, Josiah, Asher, Micah

Eliza
Sylvie
Cleo
Juniper
Clementine / Clemmie
Nora
Olive
Rosa
Beatrice / Beatrix
Margot
Daphne
Maeve
Mabel
Bonnie
Ottilie
Arabella

Ottilie and Ophelia - they seem to have exploded recently and hit that stage where people think they’re classy and posh and so they become quite common (as in popular).

Rio ~ I keep hearing this name!

And Amalia ~ it seems like parents have got a bit fed up with Amelia & Amelie and have hit on the Dutch name

I forgot about these! I only know one of each though (at the moment).

Octavia, Violet, Astrid, Nelly, Adeline, Viola, Juniper, Maude. Vivienne

Sage, River, Heath, Edwin, John, Bartholomew, Ezra, Mateo.

I think granny names, then the 50's will start to come back and we will have a return of Jacqueline, Steven etc.

I also think people are more comfortable to use names which may not represent their heritage so the diversity of names and spellings will alter.

Ophelia and Ottillie I mean!

Eric, John, Ewan, Michael, David, Anthony,
Monica, Joyce, Jacqueline, Stella, Mary, Anita,

I think Toby may have a moment in the sun. Although I hope not.

I can safely predict that Andrew will become less popular

. . . such a shame as it's a gorgeous name

Claudia
Delphine
claudine

i think French names are going to be popular in the next few years!

Benjamin
Peter
Elliot
Hunter
Jude

Not sure about girls, apart from Hetty, Tilly and Daisy, but that’s for local dogs!

Ophelia

I think ‘old’ names like
Margot
Josephine
Rosemary

Vincent
Quentin
Leonard

Elsie maeve cove Cruze

Sunday, Story, Elsie, August, Holiday I’ve seen these names everywhere for the last 3 months

Ottilie
Ophelia

Rio-is that a girls or boys name?

Maeva
Raya
Cassian/Cassius/Casper etc
Ophelia
Ottilie

Alanis. Perrie Edwards has just called her daughter Alanis

(probably wishful thinking but I do think it’s a great name!)

It's a boys name . . . I know three!

But Duran Duran said HER name was Rio and she dances on the sand? 😉

Great video.
