Henry, a name familiar to many generations, comes fourth, with 2,360 recent births. Lily and Ivy, short and sweet, follow closely behind, each bringing a blend of nature and vintage vibes to the present day.
Florence, Harry, Elsie, and Jack also made the top ten, each with their unique charm. From Florence’s historical richness to Jack’s strong simplicity, these names offer something timeless for every taste.
