Speaker 1 (00:00):
I need ten or fifteen skirts from Calvin Kleve. Sometimes
I would buy Bogue instead of dinner. I just felt
it said anymore, this is Taylor Talk with your host
Sammy Rose. Whether you're a fan of a classical name
that never seems to go out of start, or you're
after something a little bit more unique. Choosing a baby's name,
I've heard, not from experience, is one of the hardest

(00:23):
things that you will do. I struggled to find a
name that I liked for my dog, let alone a
human baby that I have grown in my womb. So
there is the Office for National Statistics and the Life
insurance Company compare the market, and they have revealed which
baby names are becoming more popular, including traditional and gender

(00:45):
neutral names. But also they've decided to reveal the stats
for the names that were once popular but have now
fallen out of fashion. So we've got the names that
are becoming more popular and the one's not so popular.
So I've got the top ten boys' names decreasing in
popularity from twenty eleven to twenty twenty one, coming in

(01:09):
at number five, justin at seventy three percent. I wonder
why number four Connor An eighty percent decrease. Number three
for the boys at Mackenzie at eighty one percent. Number
two Ashton, and coming in at the name that is
decreased the most in popularity over the last decade, Brandon,

(01:30):
not Brendan Brandon with an A. Now the top ten girls' names,
decreasing in popularity from twenty eleven to twenty twenty one.
Coming in at number five, a little too close to
home Samantha, Oh my gosh, but I knew that. I
knew it wasn't a cool name anymore. Number four Kimberly,
which surprised me. I thought Kimmy kay might have had

(01:51):
a resurgence. Number three Fiona, I was thinking Fiona from Shrek.
Two Brook like from One Tree Hill, oh Brook played
by the gorgeous Sophia Bush. And number one Amy and
I always think of Banana's in pajamas because Amy was,
you know, one of the rats. I think, not the rat,
but you know, one of the other characters. AnyWho. Moving on,

(02:13):
so now we've got the names that have increased the
most in popularity from twenty eleven to twenty twenty one.
So let's start with the boys again, coming in at
number five, increasing by Whopping two hundred and thirty six percent,
Hunter number four, Body, number three, Ezra, number two Bowie,

(02:35):
which I think is so cute. And number one, the
name that has increased the most in popularity is Saint,
like Kimmy Kay's son Saint. So that's kind of cool.
So Top ten girl names increasing in popularity from twenty
eleven to twenty twenty one. Again, I'll just give you
the top five. We've got coming in at number five,
Sloan four, Blake, a low Blake, Lively three, Aria two Aubrey,

(03:00):
that's Aubrey with a B. And number one Harper. And
when I think of Harper, I always think of Harper, Beckham, Harper,
Theven Beckham, Victoria, and David. Little girl alright here and
now Top ten gender neutral names increasing popularity from twenty
eleven to twenty twenty one. Now this one's interesting. I'm

(03:21):
going to go from number ten. We've got in at
number ten Blair nine, Monroe eight Lowen, l Owe n
I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. Seven I personally really
like this name. Remy six, River five, Parker four, Avery three,
Aubrey two Wren. And number one was Ezra. So maybe

(03:44):
you're pregnant, maybe have a friend that's pregnant. Maybe one
of these names will go on your list for your
future babies in ten years time, who knows. But super interesting.
Obviously disappointing that Samantha is going out of style, but
we knew it and I've always been a bit of
a Charlotte anyway, So I hope this has been enjoyable
for you, whether you're out on your morning walk or
your lunch break. Thank you for listening, and I'll be

(04:06):
in your earbuds against you. Bye.
