It's not new. You don't find many Darrens or Waynes in history.

[VILLA MOLE]

Poor young Brian comes on here to find out what we all think of him and he finds a discussion on names you dont see anymore


Trevor  !? 

[PeterWithesShin]

Clive.

[Clampy]

Warren?

It's not new. You don't find many Darrens or Waynes in history.

You might like to rethink that first one.

[ozzjim]

We could have a Kevin (Tammy), Brian, Ian, Victor and George on the pitch at some point. They are all quite old school 70/80s names.

If you're referring to Mr Wooley of this parish, I was working on the assumption that that history is still being written.

[dave.woodhall]

Never assume where Big Daz is concerned.

Apparently there were 71 new Brian's in the Uk in 2024, which is more than I expected and more than there were new Paul's (65) and Lee's (22).

I'm genuinely stunned that any kids born this year share my name, it feels like it was exclusively the preserve of 1974-1978.

No way! Only 65 new Pauls in the entire UK in 2024?

Yeah that surprised me as well as I thought Biblical names would always do solid business.

Idk, I've never met anyone called Methuselah, although I know a barman called Barabbas. He's Hungarian though.

[Somniloquism]

I bet he doesn't like flying much.

[Sexual Ealing]

A lad in my year wanted to take Lucifer as a confirmation name but he wasn't allowed, despite there being a Saint Lucifer. It's those kinds of injustices that turn people away from the church.

[Clampy]

No-one ever says my name, no-one ever says Futumch.

[Des Little]

Worth remembering that Brian is not the messiah...

Does he still work there or did they let him go?

Surprised to hear of anyone under 40 named Brian

Maybe Breaking Bad has done a kind of reverse-Damascene-conversion and they're all getting called Saul now?

Nope, even less of those (19).

On weird shit, at the lower end of the wtf scale there were 775 Jaxon's, 270 Jaxson's and 465 Jax's which is mostly just a trendy spelling but is still odd.

At the other end some shocking shit is 31 one boys called Baby, 57 called Buddy, a whole bunch of Rivers and Oceans and finally, the most shameful of the lot, is as a category, the sheer amount given the surname footballers as their first name, all combined there's loads of these.

There were also 203 Ozzy's and I suspect that's gone up massively since.

Sorry if this is really dull but I downloaded the spradsheets from the government website and have spent entirely too much time looking through them.
