Top 100 English Boys' Names 2021

In early October of this year, the annual England and Wales name data came out. It listed the top 1000 names for boys and girls born in 2021. I focused on girls' names in a previous post, so today I will talk about boys' names.

In the top 10, Noah rose three spots to replace Oliver as the most popular name. Moreover, Henry replaced Jack.

Regarding the top 100, six names entered. These are Nathan, Tobias, Rupert, Kai, Brody, and Blake. They replaced Leon, Ibrahim, Jenson, Jayden, Elliott, and Harley. I find it pleasant knowing that a vintage name like Rupert is now popular somewhere among English-speakers. Plus, I am not surprised about Jayden leaving the top 100. I do not predict English data like I do American data, though, so I don't have too many feelings about it.

Below, I will list the top 100 boys' names in England and Wales. Next to each name, I will list the American name with the same ranking.

What do you think of the British boys' name data?

Names Inspired by Ivy

Image
Ivy was one of the nature names that emerged during the Victorian Era. It ranked in the 200s in America and was a top 100 pick in England before its decline. Over the past decade, Ivy became a "j-shaped" revival, meaning it came back more popular than ever before; it entered the top 100 in 2018. Parents could be seeking Ivy as an alternative to Ava, another name that is both vintage and modern. However, Ivy has several differences. Even though the nature name is completely feminine, it feels more tailored than girly. Despite ending in the "ee" sound, Ivy sounds more confident than cute (the poison ivy and Ivy League associations could be factors). For those who find Ivy too popular, are looking for sister names, or just love the name, here are some similar names below the top 100: Aster A flower name that also possibly means "star," Aster is rising as a tailored girls' choice even though it is also rising, to a lesser extent, for boys.  Avis This short

Disney Boys' Names

Image
What do Pinocchio, Mickey, and Peter have in common? They belong to characters in Disney animated shorts and movies.  However, as with girls' names, Disney boys' names aren't necessarily those from the movies. Instead, they reflect the values of Walt Disney; vintage names with built-in dreams that are neither childish nor heavy. These names sound child-friendly but appropriate for adults. Here are some boys' names infused with Disney values that will especially appeal to Disney fans: Arthur Arthur "Wart" is the protagonist who draws out the sword and becomes king in  The Sword in the Stone . Disney Legend Art Babbitt injects the name with more dreams. Nickname "Art" and the aardvark of children's literature and television fame add on a friendly vibe.   Calvin Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comics might bring up childhood memories. On the accomplished side, there's Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) and former President Calvin
