I wish Isla wasn't getting so popular. I love the name, and I don't think its very common in the US but it's getting so big in the UK, which is where I live! Still, it's not as ridiculously popular as Isabella!

I know it's not part of the intended list but Lucy Claribel is adorable!! That one caught my eye more than any of the others. Innes Arthur Ulysses is interesting too and quite "stately" sounding

Ulysses - one of the pretentious names that "Daily Telegraph" BAs sometimes carry.
Isabella Jane would have been so much classier than Isabella Jayne
Isabella Alice is sweet - I just wish there weren't so many little Isabellas though (there must be at least two per primary school and playgroup year!)
I'm amazed to see how popular Isaac is - crept in under my radar!

I agree with you on Ulysses. I wonder why a good number of the "high and mighty" names make the Daily Telegraph BAs and not the more plain-sounding ones.

It's because the only people who pay for birth announcements in national papers are really posh people. Really it's an outdated concept; nowadays you just phone or email or something with people who want to know rather than telling everyone in the country. I think it tends to be the "posh" families who continue traditions like this, and they also tend to be the ones who would choose pretentious or really long names.

I enjoy looking at the BAs in that paper - many of the parents seem to vie with each other in choosing the most pretentious names.
Last week I noticed a girl with five names (surname made six) in the BAs - wish I could remember them!
