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.

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

Hazel

In the Northern Hemisphere, there is a common broadleaf tree. It produces nuts with a certain shade of brown. The tree and nut have one name in common: Hazel. The nature name, which derives from the Old English hæsel , has been in sparing use as a unisex name between the late 1700s and early 1800s. It became a common feminine name alongside Myrtle and Olive in the late Victorian Era. Hazel was a top 100 American name between 1886 and 1936, peaking in the top 20 in 1897.  Hazel was popular in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand around the same time as its American run. However, it did not enter the British top 100 until 1924. It remained popular in England and Wales until 1954, making it more retro over there.  As Hazel declined in popularity, pop culture reminded the public of its dated sound. A comic strip featuring a troubled housekeeper by the name and Witch Hazel from Looney Tunes did the job.  Hazel dropped out of the American top 1000 in 1976. It began its revival when it reentere

Biblical Girls' Names

Most people's names come from sources, whether it be ancient mythology, literature, or the most influential book in history: the Bible. There are several names mentioned in the Bible, but only those associated with one prominent character and with complete usability will count. For instance, there are too many Marys in the Bible for the name to count. Place and word names in the Bible, such as Shiloh, will not count either. Here are some Biblical girls' names that will especially appeal to Christians: Abigail Adah Bathsheba Deborah Delilah Dinah Esther Eve Hagar Hannah Jael Jezebel Keturah Leah Magdalene Martha Miriam Naomi Peninnah Rachel Rahab Rebekah Ruth Sarah Tamar Tirzah Zillah What names would you add?
