I like Ziyad and Torin for boys; I enjoy Patricia, Gracie, Dulcie, Elsie, Hadiya, Miruna, Nura, and Nevaeh for girls.

For boys, I love Timur, Younes, Luciano, Francisco, Ayoub, and Aneurin. Ayrton, Aras, Enoch, Leif, and Mateusz are also quite nice.

For girls, I love Iga. I also like Roxy, Bea, Patricia, and Dulcie. Miruna FEELS like a name I should like but I just can't quite get there.

Maximillian - prefer the spelling Maximilian
Mateusz - lots of Polish people live in England
Luciano - makes me think of the late great Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti.
Leif - One of the great Scandinavian male names.
Francisco - a great Hispanic name
Enoch - an underused Biblical name
Aneurin - a Welsh name

Trixie (as a nickname for Beatrix only)
Roxy (as a nickname for Roxana or Roxanne only)
Patricia - retro
Hadiya - an Arabic gem
Freja (it's also spelled Freya and Freyja)
Dulcie - sweet
Ariadne - gorgeous

Sydney, Enoch and Aneurin seem to be the only British names in the boy list. It's possible, since alternative spellings are listed separately, that Maximillian might be less often used than Maximilian; understandably enough. And the lnfns don't strike me as family names - could be very wrong - in which case they'd represent an American influence.
On the girl list, Renesmee could be called literary, and others like Nevaeh-Rose seem to aspire to the status of American names. Iga is probably more tennis than Polish, but Nura, Miruna, Hadiya, Freja and Abiha are clearly not British. I'm delighted to see 36 little Patricia people appearing. Four hyphenated Roses and two May/Maes ... not as original as the parents probably hoped. Interesting that Trixie and Bea both appear: no doubt Beatrice/Beatrix feature higher up the charts.
