London Lovelies

Having spent some time in the UK and having every intention to return there to reside and work for some time, it's no real surprise that I also often peruse the birth announcements from the London papers.

Australian naming trends are influenced not only by Australian pop culture and partially by trends in the US but a large influence can be seen coming from the UK. Our charts and trends tend to in part follow the UK's 1-2 years behind. We are also seeing plenty of 3 name combos coming from the UK at a steady rate which have perhaps influenced the rise in the trend of 3 name combos over the past 6 months.

So instead of being behind the 8 ball why not jump forward and check out some names that are being used right now in the UK.
