    Popular names seem to be localised. I haven't heard of an Alice here at all.

    Agree with this, never met any Alice/Mia's in the west!

    Charlotte moving rapidly up the charts, too.
    One new entrant that is becoming quietly popular but still in a small, niche way is "Fia" - it is Irish for Deer.
    Freya also offering a serious challenge to the established favourites.
    I also hear of little baby girls called Lucy, Daisy and Zara.

    Believe me, you don't want too common a name. We nearly called my son Stephen - didn't - then he wound up in a class of 22 with three Stephens.
    Conor fared even worse - I loved the name and at the time didnt think it was too common (1980's)
    but when he went to Montessori school, there was 10 boys in the class, three of whom were called Conor. They all got nicknames.
    They went to school with a plethora, a veritable population explosion, of Lauras, Emilys, Aoifes, Ciaras, Sarahs and Kates.

    Yes! I was just thinking that the other day. I've heard of about 5 Fia/Fiadhs baby girls in the last year. How do these names get so popular and catch on so quick.
