I've got a little Oscar which I didn't think was that common but I seem to have met loads at clinics, swimming and baby groups lately. Also Edward seems to be popular atm. For girls Lily, Ruby and Mia seem quite popular

Oscar is very popular indeed here and has been for a few years.

Edward is apparently on the rise because of those books.

Apart from the usual I have noticed a few Agnes' and Willows this year. rather a lot in fact (I work with newborns which is why i have met so many Grin).

Also rather more 'rose' names that aren't Rose. Rosemary, Rosamund, Rosalind etc.

Can't think for boys, just more of the same i think. Arthur and Stanley are about to go through the roof i think, soooo many of those born lately.

Eve, Evie, Oliver, George, Ruby - nearly EVERY baby boy I know of born recently is an Oliver and nearly every girl is an Evie or Eve!

Florence, Lola, Eloise, Elise and Felix all seem to be increasing in popularity.

I have an Eva, born 2008 - thought it was a lovely, slightly unusual but nonetheless classic name at the time - cannot belive the explosion of Evies and Evas since.
