There are some similarities to the Top 20 in the United States (also Canada), so worldwide trends are evident - or maybe I should say Western Trends. But others surprised me.

I enjoy seeing Willow here (it's climbing in the U.S. too - so are Ivy and Freya). And it speaks to a real cultural shift from what has been exported as "British culture" in the media I grew up with that "nicknames as given names" are so trendy now: Rosie (instead of Rose or a longer name), Evie (instead of Eve or a longer name), Elsie... There's a certain amount of rebellion to it - at least, from my perception.

Isla, Florence, and Poppy are all distinctly British, and of those three Florence is the only one I like.
