Arabella, Otto, Hugo

I only know a few…
2 baby girls named Lavinia and Josephine
A little boy named Arthur.

Unless you are a midwife or a registrar, how do you possibly know that many U1s ?

Alexander, Ewan, Margo, Freddie

I don’t know many babies now I’m out of that stage

The op said she'd remembered lots of names from baby groups, so that's one explanation. If I went back to when my first was born between NCT, baby groups, meeting local mums in the park etc I'd probably have had quite the list too. Not anymore though.

Maxim, Beatrix, Maisie, Zac, Lolly ( not sure if it’s a nickname or short for something!) Hannah.

MN can’t help themselves. Always a bitchy dig here and there questioning the validity and authenticity of responses.
if you go to baby groups and have antenatal friends, family and colleagues it’s pretty easy to accumulate baby names.
For example in my baby group there are 17 mums with babies all under 1. I go every week and then there’s the swim classes/sensory etc so it’s feasible that some of us know a lot of baby names because of that.

Frankie, Opie, Astrid

I've seen Dds name a few times which is so interesting as I thought it was quite unusual. Shows you aren't naming in a vacuum!
Honestly I'm so bad with names- I can only remember half the babies I've met in groups.

Girls:-
Psalm
Kezia
Nora

Boy

Timothy

These are very interesting . . . .I've never heard Psalm used as a forename before! Selah, which is a word used in the Psalms as a pause, is now used as a girls name, mainly I think in the USA. The two names would make an interesting pairing for girl twins or siblings!

We have 2 Timothy's in my family ~ one in his 60's and the other in his 40's. I don't think I've ever met a younger one

And Kezia (which is usually spelt Keziah) is another biblical name which I haven't come across recently

I might have got the spelling of Kezia wrong 😬.
The Timothy’s I know are in their 30’s, 50’s and 60’s. Baby Timothy’s mum said that they have had comments about choosing an old man’s name!

i have just looked at local birth announcements and there are a few Albies, an Arthur, a Minerva, a couple of Lolas, an Isla, an Olivia etc.

With the exception of Minerva all the above were very popular when DS1 (aged 16) and DS2 (14) were born so those names as a trend seem to still be going strong in our area.

Boys:

Otto
Skylen
King (family from Ghana)
Caspar (German)
Isaac
Ariyeh (Jewish)

Girls:

Diane and Nicole (French)
Rivkie (Jewish)
Intisar (think Eritrean, not sure of spelling)
Raina (Portuguese)
Maya
Evie

I live in a very diverse area and love hearing all the different names!

I’m in my 50s so these are my friends’ grandchildren:

Pearl
Imogen
Ember
Indie

no boys for a while and my daughter is currently 8mth pregnant with a girl too. No name decided as yet.

I'm not the right age to have a lot of friends having babies, but I know of three newish babies through work and hobbies:

Griff
Albert
Aurora

There might have been a Florence born to the daughter of someone I know slightly, but I'm not sure if that was less than a year ago.
