    💙 Baby boy arrived Sunday, 6 December 2020. 💙
    We named him Sebastian Jude Lowen (a Cornish name which means happy)
    Big brother and sister are already in love with him, and so are we. He’s truly the best way to end 2020!

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.

    I love Cyril, Basil, Graham and Lawrence! And Thomas, James and Philip are classics. Anthony and Alexander have always been personal favourites of mine too. If I had to vote for only one, I think I'd have to vote for Cyril

    Percy is on my name list (not that I'm having a baby any time soon) but I absolutely love it! I'd also love to use the name Roy as that was my grandpa's name but not really sure if now is the right time for that name.

    I love Arthur and Owen! So cute. I also thought it was interesting that both of my grandma's names were on the girl top 100 list from 1921 but neither of my grandfather's names were on the boy one. Their names were Abraham and Wilmont. Both pretty uncommon!

  • @emmyfbee
    @emmyfbee 3 роки тому +2

    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.

    • @bakerbrewz
      @bakerbrewz 2 роки тому

      Good luck with your coming baby! Sending you lots of positive vibes!
      I agree too, the boy names truly stand the test of time and the old school ones are still kicking strong!
      And I love the name Percival with a nickname Percy! I'm a big Harry Potter fan so that's what it makes me think of - Percy the older brother of Ron, pretty sure he was Head Boy of his House too.

    There are so many good ones! Ivan is definitely unique! Edgar, Horace, Alan, Frederick, and Hugh are a few favorites aling with the first few such as James, Thomas and others. Geoffrey us extra special because I knew one who helped me when I was bullied. I really want to be able to use it myself because of it.

    I really love your videos and already watched so many of your Babyname videos even though i'm from Germany and wouldn't use these englisch names, which is actually kind of weird i think. 😅 But i guess it is because you are such a lovely person ❤️ (and because I love Baby names😍).

    I recently met a toddler named Dennis. His parents are from the Middle East so he has the most beautiful dark eyes, straight black hair and the perfect olive skin. He was the sweetest.. I don’t know if I’d ever use it but he definitely made it useable for me! Such a sweet name!

    • @bakerbrewz
      @bakerbrewz 2 роки тому

      I have always really liked the name Dennis. Had a kid in my neighbourhood who had that name and he taught me how to chew and blow bubbles with bubblegum. Good memories with that name for me!
