HelpRe: "Names hip Londoners are calling their kids"
in reply to a message by Caroline
Oh, Mumsnetters love the name Ottilie. And Arlo! I see them mentioned in every naming thread I ever see over there.
Some of these are in the top 100 so I'm not surprised to see:
Florence, Martha, Elsie, Arthur and Stanley. Dex could be short for Dexter which is also inside the top 100.
Names I'd consider unusual are Carla (these days), Nesta, Delphi, Ethel, Manon, Gilda, Cosima, Jean, Althea, Candida, Virgil, Lysander, Rasmus, Hal, Atlas, Mitford, Clement, Marmaduke, Zefi and Pensive (which is very odd).
The thing is if they are just being overheard in the park there is no way of knowing what nationality or background the kids are from. I expect Manon, Zefi, Rasmus and many of the other kids could have at least one non-British parent. London is a very multi-cultural place. I remember seeing the names on the children's artwork in the school which is my local polling station and only a couple had what I'd consider to be typically British names (and it's not a trendy London area!).
Anyway I like:
Fleur (GP), Florence, Elsie (kind of), Seren and Rufus.
