Comments (0)

IF you’re cooing over an Isla or going gaa-gaa over a Logan, it wouldn’t be surprising.

These monikers have been revealed as being among the top names given to babies born in Luton in 2014.

The list, compiled by Bounty Parenting Club, also shows that Alicja and Amaani are popular for girls, while Marshall and Thiago are top male names in the town.

In Dunstable, Chloe and Isabella were top of the table for girls while Joshua and George were the most popular picks for bouncing baby boys.

Nationwide, the study of more than 370,000 names unveiled Kian, Teddy, Elijah, Thea, Darcie and Harper as ‘ones to watch’ in 2015 after rising in popularity the most in the past year.

The annual baby names report from Bounty also revealed Megan, Maddison, Cameron and Aiden as the names that are fast falling from favour amongst parents in the UK.

Nationwide, Jack has maintained the top spot in the boys’ list, holding off stiff competition from Oliver and Charlie, which has climbed one place to three. And for the girls, Amelia, Olivia and Emily have held onto the same top three places they had last year.

Lisa Penney, Bounty spokeswoman said: “Like celebrities, some parents are getting more and more creative with their name choices in a bid to make sure their choice of baby name stands out from the crowd. But baby name trend can change quickly and names that first seem unusual can quickly become common in the classroom.

“Generally speaking, whatever a child is called, they usually grow up to make it their own, yet mums and dads should bear in mind that a really individual name can be a lot for a child to live up to.”
