British Baby Names

UK Birth Announcements 25/7/22- 31/7/22

Below is a round-up of the birth announcements from British newspapers. Sources include a national paper (The Telegraph, The Times) and a broad range of local newspapers from across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Sibling names are in brackets. No official surnames are included; any name ending in a surname is actually a middle name. 

 

Boys:

Archibald Henry

Beckett Charlie (Archer Lee & Theo Jaxon)

Edward George “Eddie” 

Harry James

Hugo Francis Maximilian (Theodore)

Hume Samuel Charles

I cross-reference older BAs to find the full names of the siblings, however often they are missing (especially the eldest siblings, or for half-siblings) which explains why you will sometimes see something like: George Henry (Lucy, Emma & Jack Arthur). "Lucy" and "Emma" may well have middle names as well; I simply cannot find them online. 

 

Fresh Feminines

Fresh feminines are names that are elegant, melodic and ethereal that feel contemporary and avant-garde, even if they are rooted in centuries of history. Flowing syllables are key here with an uplifting appeal. They are not as weighty or antique as Henrietta or Gwendolyn nor as class-defining as Camilla or Antigone. 

Alaia Adelaide Adeline Alayna Aleena Alessia Amabel Amalia Amara Amaya Amelia Amelie Anastasia

Anaya Annabella Annabelle Arabella Ariana Ariella Athena Aurelia Aurora Azalea Beatrix Cecily Clementine
