What is in a name ?

We can often tell by a name the era someone was born in.  Some names come into fashion and then loose popularity, whilst others seem timeless.

Today, when seeking inspiration, parents often look at current celebrities or characters from popular programmes, where once they may have considered family names, those of film stars or prominent public figures. 

Oliver and Olivia continue to be in the top five names for children born during 2019 and the start of this year. 

Some of the names which are trending at the moment for girls are Luna and Aurora.

Boys names too have seen an interesting rise in popularity of Asher and Milo.

Choosing a name can be quite daunting and when deciding our children's names my husband and I made a short list but put off the final decision for a few days after their birth to see which name seemed to fit them best !
