Names for babies in 2023 - apparently Harry, Meghan, Holly and Phillip are all falling in popularity.  But the supposed sources of these names will be long gone from the public eye by the time the babes are old enough to appreciate their names.

They're going to appreciate those names ?

What's wrong with Gary, Nigel, Kevin and David? When did you last hear of someone naming their son one of those names?

A friend's first grandson was named Toby.  Pasta's cat is the only other Toby that I know of.

Toby in "The Archers"?

Friend's son in Oldham is called Toby - think he was maybe called "jug" at school

What dat den hoppy?

Khaleesi seems to have fallen from favour ...

I haven't heard of many Charles or Dianas.

Toby was only called that because I kept calling him tubby...that seemed rude  😄

It was said, back in the days of the 80s, that Diana and Kylie would become popular names. Didn't happen.

Phillip hasn't been popular for decades. 
 

I know the old names are coming back, but I can't see middling names like Carol, Gail, Janet, Darren or Brian coming back. 
 

What surprised me in Turkey was the number of boys called Miles / Myles around the pool.   All roughly the same age, mine plus three others with that name.  Given that he's the only one in his school with that name it came as a bit of a surprise.

Scallywags every single one of them. 😍

It's literally a trend /fashion thing. Lately I've found that most people I know with newborns either go for the ultra trendy, or the old fashioned. Nobody seems to go for the in between names like mine lol. 

Fickle you can do about it.

My older grandson is Toby. I read somewhere that the older names are reappearing, there are a few that should stay away. My dear mum was Beryl but I really can't see that finding favour now.
