Re: 2010 English names (7 girls called Rainbow)
I can't understand why Jessica is so popular still - I don't dislike it but there are so many other names out there that are absolutely neglected.
Happily, long-neglected Veronica was more popular than I'd anticipated - with the help of Polish immigrants to judge from some versions.
Hillary is more popular than Hilary despite the latter being the traditional spelling - shows the influence of Mrs Clinton even in the UK but the name is terribly underused.
Angelique is far less popular than I'd anticipated.
I was surprised at how few babies ere called Lavinia (17 I think) because it is the type of name that snobby parents would seize upon - and it's beautiful.
I was glad there was no baby called Jorja but there were still some horrendous versions of Georgia as well as other of other names like Lily (no. 1) and Leah.
