When it comes to choosing a name for your baby, the options are endless but if you're looking for something different or perhaps isn't as popular as some then we might have some inspiration.

Names that were once considered old-fashioned are booming, with traditional names soaring worldwide.
Traditional baby names are seeing a resurgence in popularity. Monikers that fell out of fashion after the Victorian era are coming back in a big way.
Those seeking a timeless adage for their child have helped boost the popularity of Bertie, which is up 1,646 places in the rankings. As well as Olive, which has almost reached its 1800s peak once more after almost a century out of the top 100.
Some names have eclipsed their original heyday. Violet and Elsie saw higher rankings in 2019 than they did 200 years ago.
Names like Agnes, which peaked in 1910 but dropped out of the top 100 names in 1935, have started to make their way towards the top 100 again.
For male names, 2012 was the peak year for a Victoriana revival. Alfred, Bertie, Frank, Fred, Leonard, and Sidney all reached their peak this year with babies born at the beginning of the 2010s given the names.
Wilfred also saw a boost in popularity, with even the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson choosing the name for his youngest son in 2020.
