[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] is very popular! Quite a few are very popular on NB though, the biggest surprise for me is probably [name_f]Jane[/name_f]. Very surprised to see [name_u]Brooke[/name_u] and [name_f]Hollie[/name_f] with no votes though (ETA - also Lilly!!) :hushed:

Lots of NB faves :grin:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite of the least favourites are [name_u]Darcey[/name_u], [name_f]Chantelle[/name_f], [name_f]Keira[/name_f], [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosina[/name_f]

Not surprised with the results, but I am super happy to see [name_f]Jane[/name_f] getting so much love! Favorites of the least favorites:
[name_f]Theresa[/name_f], [name_f]Paula[/name_f], Lindsey/Lindsay, and [name_u]Brooke[/name_u].

Nothing surprising about the top results :grin: I’m surprised [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] got no votes

@Raven-1013 holly & lily got more votes so I guess it all depends on the spelling and that just comes down to preference :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I was also surprised by jane. jane was a consistent that came up in a number of decades so clearly she is very deserved of so much love!!! :two_hearts:

@Greyblue keira is a name that’s been growing on me recently! I quite like chantelle too :two_hearts:

@liberty.mairead It was interesting that of the three variations of lindsay/lindsey/lynsey, non of them got any votes! It’s one of my favourites of the ‘ey’ ending names! :two_hearts:

@ethelmary I was thinking that about lottie as well! I think that might have been because I only gave people 10 votes and there were a lot of names to choose from (oops :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:) that she maybe wasn’t as high up the list as we had imagined :two_hearts:

Keira/Kiera/Kira would have definitely been in my top 10 if I had done them as it’s one of my favorite names in general. [name_f]Rita[/name_f], [name_f]Rosina[/name_f], and [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] probably would have been in my list too. I also like [name_f]Tina[/name_f], [name_f]Tia[/name_f], [name_f]Rachael[/name_f], [name_f]Tanya[/name_f], Sofia/Sophia [name_f]Karen[/name_f], [name_u]Darcey[/name_u], [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u], [name_f]Kayleigh[/name_f], and [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] though I would probably use [name_f]Tina[/name_f] and [name_f]Tia[/name_f] as a nn instead. I prefer [name_f]Lottie[/name_f] as a nn, [name_u]Holly[/name_u] instead of [name_f]Hollie[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]
