When are the 2013 name stats released?

[Squirm]

Surely it's very soon?

[DitzyDonkey]

It's always sometime in August. Not sure exactly when but it will be soon. Can't wait.

[Squirm]

Maybe it's tomorrow? It's usually a Monday isn't it?
Can't wait either.

[MrsGiraffe12]

Would be interesting to see that's for sure :-)

[RedToothBrush]

Its on the ONS release calendar as 15 Aug 14

So a couple more weeks yet.

Not that I have the date marked in the diary or anything.

[nasara]

Yep, 15th August according to the ONS website. I'm intrigued to see where Noah and Oscar are in the rankings - they seem to have really shot up in popularity.

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

Ooh marvellous. DD was one of only 13 in her birth year. Am having a boy this time and really struggling! Be handy to see that list.

[Wishfulmakeupping]

The mid-year stats were on the baby centre website that showed that my dd name had gone up 8 places and now in top 50 on that one waiting to see what the full ONS stats show

[Squirm]

Oh thanks; not toooo long to wait then.
I need to not think about it, or it will drag.

[TremoloGreen]

marking place - glad I'm not the only one excited about this!

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I was just wondering about this!

[TremoloGreen]

Ok, sorry but I can't hold it in any longer. I think the next week will pass more quickly if we all put our predictions here. I've made DH do a sweepstake on our kids' names but I can tell he's just humouring me

My predictions for #1
Mia/Jack

DH: Katie/Henry

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I think Sienna is going to have made great leaps.

Isaac I think will have risen too.

[Wishfulmakeupping]

Elsie will be in the top 30, Elsa top 20 I think emily is top though. Boys wise George in top 5 now I would think

Oh my! Thought I'd bump this as I'm just so excited! And I don't even have a baby to name! Just a night owl of a five month old who, if left to my devices, would have a different name every week.

[ButterflyOfFreedom]

My predictions for top names are:
Oliver
Emily

Big risers:
Reuben
Zac / Zachary
George

Elsa
Ivy
Thea

Biggest fallers:
Joshua
Freddie
Connor

Amber
Ruby
Georgia

[ToffeeMoon]

George must be top 5. It really feels as though every baby boy I meet at the moment is called George. It's a lovely name but I just don't understand why everyone is using it knowing there will be loads of them about.

The last two baby girls born to my friends/family were called...Anna...and...Elsa!

[ILikeRed]

Are they out yet? I cant seem to find a link. Week over due with DD1 and desperate to check her name before she makes an appearance!!

[nasara]

I've just had a look but can't find it yet.

[SlinkyB]

Not out just yet ONS baby names
