Ok, PLEASE do a video where you pronounce names (or anything!) with an American accent!!! You pronouncing Graham like "Gram" was spot on and SO hilarious to hear after hearing you speak so elegantly normally!! I am from the Midwest in the US and we really do sound like that. I would be SO entertained to hear more!

Edgar’s been on my vintage name list for a while now!

It’s on my list beside Franklin (which I don’t want to get popular because I absolutely adore it so shhhh).

Happy Baby Name Monday SJ!

I felt a huge connection to this list, as so many of my family names were mentioned! I was actually going to be born Harold if I had been a boy, and I was going to be Hal for short. Gerald and Basille (feminine version of Basil) are the names of my 15 year old cats. Not to mention my dad’s Dalmatian was called Hubert. Ralph is the name of my 34 year old brother - Given that my mum then had an Eleanor and then me, Freya, she was way ahead of all the name trends as our three names are flying up to the top.

Had to come back to this video as it was one I made my husband watch for baby name inspo as he likes the more traditional names. On the 1st of January 2022, our Stanley George was born and his name is perfect. Thank you for these videos, they are just fab and genuinely helpful!! 💙

Cracking up at your impersonation of Americans saying Graham. As someone from one of the south-east states I can 100% say it’s spot on! 😂😂 I would totally use the name if I could pronounce it correctly 😂

Laurie is my favourite boy name!! First came across it when reading Little Women, my favourite book.

I have Edwin on my baby name list at the moment (due end Feb ☺️) I also love the longer form Percival, using Percy as a nickname. It’s amazing how so many of the big names on this list have stood the test of time and are still around today so much more than the girls equivalent.
