I know a lot of our babies are pre 2010 but look at the list - its like a list of Banda baby names!

We broke from the norm and chose Andrew not because we didn't like any of the other names, Andrew was the only one we could agree on and his name had to have Paul as his middle name (after my hubby) and Drew's 2nd middle name is Thomas after my mega craving for tomatoes in pregnancy (toms lol)

I LOVE Oliver as a name but didn't want him to be called OB growing up, we liked Jack too but a friend of mine lost her baby and she named him Jack so thought we'd step around such a sensitive issue xxx

We picked Isabelle cos we liked it - it wasn't even popular in 2009!

Apparently Isabella and Maisie have shot up the list to become very popular!

Well I dont blame anyone...who wouldn't want Isabelles name after seeing her!

I'm quite disappointed though - I liked the fact it wasn't in the charts!

If Evan was a girl he was gonna be Ava

I'm glad I picked Evan I only heard it 2wks before having him and it's not popular yet although I am hearin of a few babies being called it lately I don't want it to be popular lol

Paige isnt on the top list but since deciding on her name i was surprised how popular it was, am shocked it didnt make the top name but also kinda glad lol xx

Im surprised katie isnt on the list. Its been the top girls name in northern Ireland for the last cpl years.

On the NI site 2010 names arent revealed but . Caitlin was number 16 in 2008 so Iv picked a name that is dropping off the charts, I think most Caitlins are 4-9yrs old so I missed the boat with giving her a popular name. Caitlin maybe more popular hear with its gaelic connections.

Yeh it said Katie and Amy were knocked out by Isabella and Maisie!

I love Caitlin! Its Izzys middle name...and if, when, lol we have another girl she will be called Caitlin

My mum said it was odd to use Izzys middle name, but why? I liked the 2 names so why shouldn't I?!

Also my mum was f'ing rude when i said I'd have Caitlin..she said blerrghh WTF?!

My mum wasnt keen on Caitlin either but thats because my MIL is called lyn (evelyn) and my mum thought MIL would think id called her after her. Totally not the case, I liked the name and Stuart loved it so that was that.

She was nearly a megan but, that was my number 1 but OH wasnt convinced.
Oh and macy, really wanted macy but OHs surname is gray so wouldnt really work , same with maisie.

I agree whats wrong with using izzys middle name, alot of 1st and middle names are swapped around familys! I think its nice!

They reckon Kate is going to be popular next year because of the big wedding xx

Neither of my 2 names r there dunno if im glad or sad lol

none of my kids names are there ,, my boys were up in lists in the day

isabelle/isabella has hit the charts with thanks to twilight me thinks #

I liked Maisie when I was of with Lily but my OH wasn't having any of it. He didn't like Lily either until we were in hospital and his mate suggested it after I had already said we were calling her it.

Her middle name is Kate and I bet its going to get very popular too x

I didn't think Charlie was that popular anymore, I've always loved the names of my boys, i didn't care if they were popular or not!
wonder what names will be popular in another 10 years!

ava has shot up this year, i think it was twenty something last year, im not too bothered as we already settled on the name before looking at the popularity.

I kind of like that Imogen isn't in the top 20. I liked it cause it was known, as in people would know how to spell or say it but it's not really really popular.

I love the name Isabelle or Isabella, I wanted to call Imogen that but oh preferred Imogen. if i have a girl next I want to call her Isabella but I'm pretty sure it's shot up the list because of Twilight (Jacob has gone up the list hasn't it and apparently Edward is making a come back and Cullen is getting big in America). I don't really want people to think I named my baby after Twilight

Well Tayla-Rose defo isnt there, im still not sure if i like her name some days i love it other days i wish i had picked something different

Aw why?

I dunno i just sometimes think i should of picked something plainer. Its done now though so ill have to like it lol!

oh bloody fantastic, oliver is number one even his middle name, harry after my grandad is number 3(he was either going to be oliver harry or harry ethan)
im pretty sure when i named him it wasnt very popular, then again theyre quite a few olivers befor mine on here...i just loved the name

if he was a girl he was going to be emily or jessica..im obviousley not very inventive with names x

Aw I think Oliver has really shot up the list the last 2years. I love the name and if Imogen was a boy she was going to be called that. I do remember once I decided on that name i started hearing it everywhere.

mwahaha no elijah there i doubt it will be popular but sadly that means that people either can't spell it or can't say it! i thought it was quite phonetic but it seems people just see a jumble of letters

we really liked imogen and lorelai - i also really liked florence after my grandma but we aren't so sure now cos they all seem to be going up (although i suppose it doesn't really matter)

elijah's middle name is thomas...we picked it so if he thought elijah was too unusual he could go by thomas when he grows up

danielle aint there
but OH and i had agreed on her name just after found out was girl ( was only name we could agree on ) then flipping danielle in eastenders HAD to die ! ,,,, actually had ppl ask if thats why we chose her name !

OO i didnt realise Joseph would be on there
I think Olivia was no 1 2009 as well, as I nearly called H that then realised that it had become quite popular and didnt like the idea of her being in a class with loads of girls same name. Saying that when she was born and we found out she was a she (lol) she didnt look like a Olivia
x

Wool rowans is not on there all good

I'm really suprised that Olivia is number one for girls and that Lily is 3rd. I'd have swapped them over. Also I'm suprised that Grace is only one above Amelia as I know hundreds of Grace's round here and only 1 other Amelia lol. I don't mind her having a popular name, means that she won't get picked on at least. My name was very popular when I was born and in the years preceeding but I've never had more than 1 other person with my name in my classes at school and frequently none at all.
