Re: Purdey
in reply to a message by Katie
I think it's probably a surname; I had a look at the post below and, as it's a middle, I'm guessing it's a family surname.I like Perdita "Perdie". I don't think Arabella, Allegra, or Myrtle are becoming popular, they're only being used in narrow circles, I believe. According to the 2013 data for the UK, the latest available:Arabella is at #157
Allegra is at #772, sharing the spot with 11 other names: Aroush, Eira, Elina, Kaci, Khaleesi, Peggy, Rahma, Ruby-May, Selina, Tori, and Viktoria.
Myrtle is at #3536, which doesn't mean much as it was only used six times. I can easily see usage of Arabella having increased in the past year, but less so the other two.
