[name_f][/name_f]

2024 Trends:
[name_f][/name_f]African Names:[name_f][/name_f] Igbo names (Munachimso, Chizaram) & Yoruba names (Ayomide, Oluwadarasimi).
[name_f][/name_f]Alternate Spellings:[name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Caiden[/name_m] & [name_m]Kaden[/name_m], [name_m]Jadon[/name_m] & [name_m]Jayson[/name_m], [name_m]Keon[/name_m] & Rion… all of these feel very 2010s to me!
[name_f][/name_f]Arabic Names:[name_f][/name_f] This one is quite obvious, signalling the changing demographics in the UK. Examples include [name_m]Hakim[/name_m], [name_m]Musab[/name_m] & [name_m]Tariq[/name_m] for boys, and [name_f]Azra[/name_f], [name_f]Miral[/name_f] and [name_f]Ruqayya[/name_f] for girls.
[name_f][/name_f]European Names:[name_f][/name_f] Particularly [name_m]German[/name_m] & Spanish names (Anton, [name_m]Florian[/name_m], [name_m]Manuel[/name_m], Valeria).
[name_f][/name_f]Hebrew Names:[name_f][/name_f] e.g. [name_m]Agam[/name_m], [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m], [name_m]Lael[/name_m], [name_m]Shimon[/name_m], [name_f]Azaria[/name_f], [name_f]Liora[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Indian[/name_f] Names:[name_f][/name_f] e.g. [name_m]Dev[/name_m], [name_m]Jujhar[/name_m] & [name_m]Nihal[/name_m] for boys; [name_f]Baani[/name_f], [name_f]Saanvi[/name_f] & [name_f]Vamika[/name_f] for girls.
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Irish[/name_m] Names:[name_f][/name_f] Lots of these this time round [name_f][/name_f]- [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m], [name_m]Eoin[/name_m], [name_m]Odhran[/name_m], [name_m]Seamus[/name_m], [name_f]Meabh[/name_f], [name_f]Roisin[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]Old-Fashioned Names:[name_f][/name_f] I’ve been patiently waiting for the comeback of [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] and [name_f]Irene[/name_f] for girls and knew it was bound to come soon! Names on the list that also fit into this category include [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m], [name_m]Lionel[/name_m], [name_f]Sydney[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f] and [name_f]Millicent[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]Popular Culture:[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Novie[/name_f] for Zoella’s baby, [name_m]Gavin[/name_m] for the airing of the final [name_m]Gavin[/name_m] & [name_f]Stacey[/name_f] episode, [name_m]Roan[/name_m] for [name_f]Chappell[/name_f] [name_m]Roan[/name_m], [name_m]Elon[/name_m] for [name_m]Elon[/name_m] Musk’s rise… [name_f][/name_f] are there any others I’m missing?
[name_f][/name_f]Surname Names:[name_f][/name_f] e.g. [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] & [name_m]Lawson[/name_m] for boys, [name_f]Hadley[/name_f] & [name_m]Parker[/name_m] for girls.
[name_f][/name_f]Welsh Names:[name_f][/name_f] e.g. [name_m]Ifan[/name_m], [name_f]Elsi[/name_f], [name_f]Lowri[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]Word Names:[name_f][/name_f] “Positive” word names for girls e.g. [name_f]Mercy[/name_f], [name_f]Miracle[/name_f], [name_f]Serenity[/name_f], [name_m]Sunny[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

And now, for the question you’ve all been waiting for… what would you name one boy[name_f][/name_f] and one girl[name_f][/name_f] with the above names?

[name_f][/name_f]

I’d go for…

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Florian[/name_m] [name_m]Lionel[/name_m] [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]

Hello1 · August 2, 2025, 12:41pm

So interesting to see names that have joined the top 1000. There are quite a few on here that I’m surprised are new to the top 1000, I thought they’d have been in there before.

[name_f][/name_f]

If I were to make a combo using these names I’d go for:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Florian[/name_m] [name_m]Indy[/name_m] ‘Flynn’
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Ethel[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] ‘Effie’

Greyblue · August 2, 2025, 12:56pm

Thank you for sharing!

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Zaire[/name_m] and [name_m]Zyaire[/name_m] might be considered African names too (from the [name_m]River[/name_m] name)!

[name_f][/name_f]

Nawab could fit into the “title” names for babies [name_f][/name_f]- though it’s also just used to mean leader.

[name_f][/name_f]

I wonder if [name_f]Airah[/name_f] was at all inspired by Jenner’s baby, [name_m]Aire[/name_m]?

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Davina[/name_f] McCall for the pop culture references [name_f][/name_f]- had been on gogglebox, dr who, masked singer etc?

[name_f][/name_f]

If I were to name kids from these:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Indy[/name_m] [name_m]Rovan[/name_m], [name_m]Keegan[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], or [name_m]Mack[/name_m] [name_m]Dorian[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

and

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] [name_f]Fearne[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f], [name_f]Romee[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] [name_f]Roisin[/name_f]!

Mary_Rose · August 2, 2025, 1:32pm

oh, this is a fun selection! I don’t know what to make of [name_m]Elon[/name_m] entering the list…. but putting that aside I like a few of these!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Girl[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elspeth[/name_f] [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] [name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Boy[/name_m][name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Mitchell[/name_m] [name_m]Gavin[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]

moonwriteen · August 2, 2025, 5:29pm

[name_m]Florian[/name_m] Munachismo [name_m]Drew[/name_m]
[name_f]Davina[/name_f] [name_f]Ethel[/name_f] [name_f]Serenity[/name_f]

EagleEyes · August 2, 2025, 6:13pm

Thanks for compiling this! I would never have guessed that [name_m]Gavin[/name_m] didn’t already rank in the UK [name_f][/name_f] since it’s been top 250 in the US for decades (and at least to me, doesn’t sound “American” like some of the invented names that are only popular over here)

[name_f][/name_f]

I would go with [name_m]Drew[/name_m] [name_m]Lionel[/name_m] and [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Celia[/name_f], but it was tough narrowing it down!

[name_f]Love[/name_f] this! I would have [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [name_f]Nel[/name_f] + [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] [name_m]Indy[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

Names I know people with… (in [name_f]England[/name_f] + Wales!)
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Anton[/name_m], [name_m]Callan[/name_m], [name_m]Ciaran[/name_m], [name_m]Eoin[/name_m], [name_m]Ifan[/name_m], [name_f]Mackenzie[/name_f], [name_m]Seamus[/name_m]

EleanorVintage · August 2, 2025, 8:38pm

I was really pleasantly surprised by [name_f]Helen[/name_f] & [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m]! Especially [name_f]Helen[/name_f]! She’s one of those proper girls names like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], [name_f]Georgina[/name_f], [name_f]Deborah[/name_f] etc… and I’ve thought for a while that as we’ve still got [name_f]Deborah[/name_f] in the Top 1000, then why not [name_f]Helen[/name_f]! And also thrilled about [name_f]Irene[/name_f] as she’s one of my favourites!!

[name_f][/name_f]

As a side note also, not too sure if you’ve gone past the Top 1000, but [name_f]Anne[/name_f] (another what I call ‘proper’ girls names) is now sitting just below so I’m hoping that in years to come, we might start to see the rise of some more sturdy, traditional girls names!

[name_f][/name_f]

From the list…

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Lionel[/name_m] [name_m]Kenneth[/name_m] & [name_f]Irene[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] (Reenie)

persephonescrown · August 2, 2025, 10:15pm

[name_f]Love[/name_f] to see [name_m]Digby[/name_m], [name_m]Dorian[/name_m], [name_m]Florian[/name_m], [name_m]Lionel[/name_m], and [name_f]Sydney[/name_f]! For girls, lots I’m surprised weren’t up there already. Excited by [name_f]Calliope[/name_f], [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f], [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], [name_f]Ethel[/name_f], [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] (I know a little [name_f]Georgiana[/name_f] born late 2024), and [name_f]Willa[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

I’d choose…
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Florian[/name_m] [name_m]Digby[/name_m]
[name_f][/name_f][name_m]Lionel[/name_m] [name_f]Sydney[/name_f]
