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?

I'd also like to vote for Conrad and for Jeffrey. Sadly just seen Jeffrey take a bashing on another thread, but I think it is an ace name.

Norman. Along with Roman.

I'm reading Chalet School Girls at the moment (yes, I know, I'm not a 12 year old girl, but they are fun) and it is quite weird how "current" a lot of the names in there are, and the one I'm reading at the moment was written in 1940. Names mentioned on here like Constance, Sylvie, Margaret ... very odd.

bleh - I loved all the Chalet School Stories - I still have mine packed in the loft (mmm - wonder where that step ladder went..........)

actually meant to say Dh and I really really wanted to call DS2 Malachai, but reluctantly decided it might be a bit too unusual - have to admit I haven't seen it anywhere yet...

Arlo is definitely on the up. Ruby appears to already be enjoying a spike in popularity. I agree that, with the current vogue in Edwardian names (ds's middle name is Arthur), we might be due a 30's/40's revival.

I predict a minor and short-lived spike for Effie, as it it is quite sweet, trips off the tongue lightly and there's one in 'Desperate Romantics'. (Not that I'm watching, but someone must be!)

I love all the votes for Violet. I wanted that for dd, but dh exercised his right of veto. I also liked Ernest for ds, and Betsy had he been a girl, so clearly there's some kind of turn of the 20th century thing going on in my head.

I can't get my head around the possibility of Nigel or Neville making a comeback, which must mean that they are ripe for revival. I will probably get grandsons named that, now I've said it.

I can't imagine an Atticus or Ptolemy living round here. (I am now picturing grandsons called Ptolemy Nigel and Neville Atticus.)
