    Awww we just called our baby boy Robin George! He was born on the 9th of July. George is my dad’s name. We chose Robin because my Granny passed away just before I found out I was pregnant & I love the saying, “Robin’s appear when loved ones are near”. I also loved Winnie the Pooh as a child - Christopher Robin and this lovely quote by him - “If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you” I love that even though my granny never got to meet Robin, she had an influence on his name :)

    Great list! My SO is named Julian. Haven't met too many other guys with the same name. Just wanted to add in case someone likes the name Dominic but it comes off too strong, there is also Dominico which is a variation of the name. I think adding that O ending makes it a bit softer. Also gives you the option to make Nico a nickname if you're not fond of Dom.

I’m from Scotland and sometimes when you say something is fairly high in the UK it surprises me because there are hardly any here, so I often wonder where that name would place in Scottish, Irish & Welsh charts! Not sure if I’ve explained that well! Love the videos and podcast - excited for it to come back 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    My boys are Nathaniel Hans Freddie (middle names are family names) and Sebastian Jude Lowen. I think Nathaniel and Sebastian are pretty classic boys’ names. We intentionally didn’t want anything too ‘out there’ and they seemed quite timeless to us. We also like the meaning (gift from God and venerable - respected for wisdom and character). We were a bit more adventurous with our daughter’s name and made it up: Ameliana Grace Rorie (middle names are family names). Naming babies definitely is one of the perks of parenting 🥰

    Something happened to the last part of my comments! Miles feels a lot like James to me smooth and elegant. I am not overly keen on Victor but I do like a similar name, Hector. I find Rhys to be a charming name. I agree with SJ, I am surprised Timothy isn't more common, there were many Timothy's when I was a kid in the 80's.

    I think Barnaby works really well for a grown man! 😂 He could use Barney as a nickname and I know a few men with that name. At the end of the day I think that people associate names with people they know so if he was named Barnaby, people would just associate the name with whatever age he was. I don’t know if that makes sense hahaha (also I literally watch every one of SJs vids and I’m not pregnant either 😅

    In America, many of these names are much higher. Owen, for instance, is very popular here. I have a friend with an Owen and Nathan! Joel is also fairly high here (my brother is also Joel!). My son is named Reeves but often gets mistaken for Rhys/Reece.

    I wonder if the reason Nathan, Dominic, Jamie, Owen and Rhys/ Reece aren't that common now (in the UK at least) is because they were all in the top 100 20, 30 or 40 years ago, therefore dad names more than son names. I'm in my mid/late twenties and growing up I knew about half a dozen Jamies' (all boys), a handful of Nathans', ditto for Rhys/ Reece (again all boys) and an Owen (also possibly a Dominic but I'm not 100% sure)
