Film,
television, music and sport all influence our choice of baby names and the
popular names over a particular time will tell you something about sporting
successes (Jenson a.k.a Button), popular shows (Kylie) and political figures
(Boris a.k.a Johnson). Some new names
have made it on the UK’s top 100 baby names this year including Tommy, Blake,
Frankie, Elijah and Jackson for the boys and Bella (think the Twilight films),
Willow, Elsie, Kayla, Francesca and Lydia for the girls. Harry, Oliver, Jack, Alfie and Charlie remain
some of the most popular boy’s names and Amelia, Olivia, Lily, Jessica and
Emily the girls names.
