I prefer the top 100 names from UK rather than the top 100 names from USA.

Me too, definitely.
They are a lot classier.

Looks like there were eight Alisons born in Scotland, and no Allisons. Way to go, Scotland, keep the tradition alive! XD

Ha my brothers name is Leo, and your brothers name is on my list too!

There are lots of names I might use if they weren't so popular, or would use if kids-dad wouldn't let me use my favourites.
I'm sad that Amelia has become even more popular.
With all the Eve's and Eva's that is a lot of potential Evie's on top of the actual Evie's.
I don't get why Jessica is STILL so popular.
Isabelle and Isabella are getting more popular. And with all the variation's on the spellings thats a lot of Izzy's. Thats a name I would like to use if it wasn't so popular.
Damn Phoebe has become more popular too.
Ugh and so has Madison and Maddison, yuk yuk yuk.
My name has really gone down in popularity, which is good/bad.
Amelie and Skye have shot up in popularity. Shame about Amelie, Skye is just suprising!
Zoe and Madeline have gone down, yay! Maybe something to do with Madeline McCann?
It's weird that Shannon is in the top 100. WTF?!

Damnit Dylan is more popular!
But Max has gone down :) So have Callum, Connor and Cameron.
Ellis and Elliot have gone down. Isaac has shot up though :(
Shame Finley has got more popular. And with the Finlay's thats quite a few potential Finn's.
Theo has gone up too :( though it's probably a little to close to my brother's name to use anyway....

Long comment, haha I'm bored!

My best friend at uni, Lorah's favourite name is Madison.
She changed her own name from Laura, so I shouldnt be surprised!
As much as I adore Evie, I really dislike Eve. On the fence about Eva. I prefer Ava, popularity sucks though.
Amelie is a shame indeed.. but i've always felt it too close to the overused Emily to be a real contender.
Madeleine must be down to the McCann case.. it was really shooting up before.
I really hate the name Zoe, but Jessica.. out of all the regular boring names it's one of my favourites.. not that i'd ever use it.

i'm bored too.. (and thankyou, im happy for me also! but kind of miserable ater my previous elation. Glad Cieran's talking again!)xx

My first read of Lorah was Lorax and just about fell off my chair

um, what?

"What?"

What?

never heard of it

I like the top 100 UK list much better than the top 100 US list. It's a lot classier, and there are many fewer scary khree8yv names. However, I don't like that so many names - Charlie, Jake, Max, Jamie, Ben, Ellie, Mia, Evie, Katie, Millie - are so nickname-y.

My name, Bethany, is number 50 in England and Wales, though. That's pretty cool, IMO, since Bethany never got below 80-something here in the US.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Harvey's kind of lower class in England.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I wasn't saying you should..

Just that class has a lot to do with name popularity.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I'm aware of that..

Thank you for posting this - I've been waiting for the English ones to come :)

My daughter's name (Alexandra, born this year) appears to be on a downward trend. I find is interesting that Olivia got booted out in one year by Grace and Ruby.

Hit post too soon

[amspeck-myworld.livejournal.com]

I don't like Jack at all (much prefer Jacob) and I have no idea why it is so popular, I've yet to meet a child here with that name! Owen (my son's name) has taken a huge 10 place drop compared to most of the boy names that remain the same year on year.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Most of my favourites are on there:
Jack - 1 *sigh*
James - 9
Benjamin - 14
Alexander - 23
Erin - 27
Imogen - 24 - I had no idea it was this popular!
Edward - 40
Alice - 43
Nathan - 45
Eleanor- 49
Rhys - 56
Harriet - 73

[anapology.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I know lots of little Imogen's.

Maybe you can enlighten me.. what is so great about Jack!?

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I've only ever met 2 Imogen's! But then I'm hsrdly ever around kids!
I don't know what it is about Jack, I've just always loved it!
