Which names do you predict to be the next big thing?
Those not currently very popular but there'll be loads in a few years?

The next lot of fashionable names will be the ones belonging to younger pensioners now.

So for girls;

Jean
Margaret
Valerie
Dorothy
Joyce

and for boys;

Kenneth
Alan
Brian
Bernard
Neville

popular names in the near future will be whatever William and Harry call their kids. Trust me - people are sheep!

Port, I agree, I know somebody with a Harry and WILLIAM, although the Harry was the elder thank goodness or it would have been ludicrously sheepish.... bad enough imo.
