I counted every name in The Telegraph birth announcements / What middle + upper class brits are naming their kids

Yeah, I’m not proud. I counted every single name in the Telegraph birth announcements to see which would come out on top. For those unaware, The Telegraph is a [name_f]British[/name_f] newspaper with a birth announcements section straight out of Downton [name_f]Abbey[/name_f]. I’m a [name_m]Brit[/name_m] myself and some of these names made me take a moment. The website only had announcements up until 2020, so these are a reflection of the last five years. Anyway, on with the list!

[name_f][/name_f]

The name mentioned the most often was… [name_m]Henry[/name_m]! I’m not surprised by this seeing as [name_m]Henry[/name_m] has sat somewhere between 10 and 13 in popularity in [name_m]Britain[/name_m] since 2020. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] was announced 69 times, and took the lead by a mile!

[name_f][/name_f]really used so often!
