None of my children made the name list lol. Didnt expect they would. Lesieli is a tongan name pronouned Lassie-elle. It means Rachel in english. Mercedes is spanish and yes we all know that from the line of cars. Alize is French and pronounced (Elle-zay)  I could never lose them in a crowd with name like this lmao

Lots of the names I love are on the list,...Olivia, Ruby,Hannah, Ava,....Jack, Caleb,Dylan, Ethan, Ryan etc! But having a name like Kelly, in 6th form at school there were 6 of us in one class,..and I currently have 3 friends called Kelly, I really wanted a less common name for my girl!

George is huge over here too- its definitely in the top 3 can't remember which exactly. Its so popular Charlotte has 3 Georges in her nursery and I know a further 4 from other classes she goes to. I think its like a lot of those names like William, Harry, Tom etc that are making a comeback.
I was glad to see our top 2 girls names not on there! Darn it- just read it again and one of them is
