[Opinions] Re: Top Ten Names In The UK
in reply to a message by EsmeLily
I laughed. I've been waiting for this list for so long, but it's pretty much useless right now as it's from 2022.
I would also need to see the percentages. As popular names are so much less popular nowadays, sometimes they go up even though they've been used less, simply because other names were used even less often.
For example, in the US, Violet went up 4 spots, but there were actually 121 less girls named Violet than the year before.
So while I still enjoy looking at them, I feel like they have lost a bit of their relevance except for new entries and extremely fast rising and falling names.
Thanks for sharing! I love Lily and am curious whether it was used more or the others around it were used less. I like Isabella, Oliver, Isla, Ivy. The others are okay.
Theo/Theodore is becoming the next Ben or Alex or something. Possibly even more popular.
Don't mind Freddie as a nickname, but dislike on its own.
