Hi,
I feel like I have heard every possible US baby name.
I am wondering what the popular baby names are where you are currently living, specifically for a girl.
Popular names in our NE microcosm, efe Ava, Sophia o Sophie, freya, emmie, lily, and amelia/milly. For boys, Jamie, Alex, jack, Benjamin, Matthew, George, Louis/Lewis....
I'm late but here in Estonia popular girl names are Mari-Liis (lease), Hanna-Liis (pretty much add Liis to any first name however they do not have Middle names like many Americans do), Kadri, Annely, Kelli, Jana. Boys names: Martin, Jan (yawn), Jaanus, Indrek, Rein, Mart.
The top five names for boys in 2011 were: Oliver, Jack, Harry, Charlie, James
The top 15 girls names in 2011 were: Lily, Emily, Isabella/Isabelle, Sophia/Sophie, Charlotte, Olivia, Ava, Chloe, Isla (pronounced Eye-La), Amelia, Jessica, Grace, Evie, Ella, Mia
I also know little girls called Imogen, Alice, Briony (BrY-O-Knee), Annabel, Abigail, Martha, Freya, Orly, Gillian, Elenna and Caroline.
My son is Isaac and his baby boy friends are Freddie, Samuel, Jacob, Noah, Alexander, Daniel, Benjamin, Angus, Lincoln, Robert, Archie and Theo.
Seconded.
I also know a lot of women named: Claire/Clare, Nicola, Caroline (Care-oh-line, not Care-oh-lin), and Victoria (Vicki/Vicky). These aren't as popular as baby names, but they must have been popular 30 years ago :-)
Common male names: Daniel, David, Michael, Colin, Gareth. I work with lots of men, and there are MULTIPLE people in a small organization with these first names.
