HelpRe: Second lowest names on the England and Wales top 1000
in reply to a message by peregrine
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.
