Just incase anyone needs any inspiration for a baby name. Olivia is top girls name and Jack is top boys name. I love Jack and that has always been my favourite name for a boy.

I was surprised to see Evan on there at no. 80! I've only ever heard of 1 other Evan before

At least hes unique!

Thanks for posting that - we are struggling to agree on boys names more than girls, and havent got long to decide!

Can't believe Oliver is number 2 boys name

Maybe we should stay living in america where is isn't so common

When we chose Ethan it wasn't so popular. Still think it's a good sturdy boy's name.

I doubt Elodie will ever be on the list. We chose it because it was unusual but not wacky.

Ethan is quite popular here. Also meant to tell you at my brothers wedding in vancouver there was a little girl of 8 whose name was Elodie! Not surprising really seeing as my SIL is french & therefore half the people there were french. People kept on calling Oliver Olivier only it sounded like Olivia - it was really throwing me!!!

Florence has rocketed up 11 places to number 94!

We know of two other Flos (not including Tamsin Outhwaite who I think called her daughter Florence and is always copying me!). One I met in passing and is not someone I know really. One is a daughter to someone I went to sixth form with and lost contact with for 15+ years. We recently got in touch via facebook to find we both have Flos of a very similar age! V v freaky!
