[StraferJack]

neither in top 100 - score!

[????]

I've got a number 1 and a mid-table then a non top 100

[Louisa]

Katie Hopkins would be proud of that top 10.

Louisa.

Ooh, number one sun scrapes in to the top 100, I doubt number 2 son would make it into the top 1000.

mid 60s in ireland, and again, no sign of number 2.

No 98 in boys names in Scotland. Nowhere to be found south of the border.

I bet it was higher up a few short years ago.

I'm actually surprised my eldest's isn't higher given a certain sporting success.

[Pickle]

I have a number 3, a 73 and one not on the list which surprises me (Kate - there's Katie, but not Kate).

My Mum likes to joke that these days to name a baby you look at a list of recently deceased people in their 80's and older, and pick at random. She's not too far off if I think of names I hear these days, especially boys.

[david_carnell]

Maybe - it's archeypal but not sure it's been in fashion for some time.

Although I did bump into another wee Hamish in a Penge garden centre some months ago. Was a very odd experience.

[Pickle]

David, our son was very nearly Hamish, it was one of the two names we had picked out.

[Pickle]

We notice when we visit family in NZ that the fashion for boys is to use surnames as first names. One of my friends has Hunter, Cooper and Fletcher.

[Seabag]

I'm surprised the "Oi" hasn't made it into either top 100

I hear loads of kids called that round here, along with "Y'lil f*cker"

[Otta]

My younger daughter has Hannah (44) as a middle name, but neither daughter on the list. Thought a variation on my older girl's name might be there, but nadda.

[Mick Mac]

What happened to Peter, Mark, Michael, Andrew etc? are these names set to die out.

Cant believe Rory is only number 97....

[Mick Mac]

BTW - my 3 are all on the list somewhere. I must have looked up this list when I was picking them.

[vgrant]

[El Pibe]

Though maybe next year there'll be more. Mind you, he's no looker is he, maybe success isn't enough.

[El Pibe]

an image search of number two son got this :-/

 

[Otta]

I just googled my older daughter's first name, and I hope to god it's not a sign of things to come.

[El Pibe]

blimey, i was expecting an aged country star, instead i got a paddington hard stare from my wife!!

[Otta]

Haha! I was also expecting the country star. (didn't she die a few years back?)

My daughters have traditional names like these and none are on the list, neither are any of their middle names.

Quite nice to be different rather than follow the crowd.
