Names in the Canberra Times - Sat, 27 Sept 2008
Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 05:09PM I thought I was going to have an easy post today, just pinching the inspired names from Canberra parents. But it was a fairly lack lustre list in the paper yesterday. There weren't many announcements and the names were mundanely conventional variations of the top 20 baby names. Although there does seem to be a trend to the 'super frilly' in girls names and a conversion to ultra conservative with the revival of John as the boys middle name of the moment!
Girls
- Emma Rose
- Alicia Mae
- Millie Violette
- Georgia Isabella
- Saleena Marie - I haven't heard of Saleena before, I might have to look into the heritage of this name.
- Polly Sophia
- Mackenzie Jade
- Bethany Violet
- Ivy Amari - my favourite of this list
- Sadie Jane
- Jontee Eva - very jaunty is Jontee
- Angus John
- Robert John
- Cameron John
- Joesph Wilson
- Samuel
- Riley Mitchell
Hmmm.... don't really know what more to say actually.

I love the name Polly so much. Throughout most of my pregnancy I'd planned on naming her Polly. What do you think about this name Tara?
I adore the name Polly. If I remember rightly the Polly in this list was a gesture in honour of her grandmother whose name was Pauline. I much prefer Polly. I do love Lolly though Amanda!
Oh gees - every time I like a name it goes through the roof in the popularity stakes! :P Glad I'm planning on a variation of John, not using John itself and that it was my stepsons name given 21 years ago!
