What would you call your child in 2012?

This word cloud shows the top 100 boys and girls names in 2011, for children born in that year.

The size of the name is proportionate to the number of new born babies given those names.

As you can see, Oliver and Olivia have been shunted in favour of Harry and Amelia.

I find the number of chavvy names such as Jordan and Lola quite interesting and the absence of traditional 'Christian' names in combination with that is in my opinion a reflection of the declining moral standards in our country.

I apologise if anyone has had a little girl recently and named her Amelia, maybe she won't be bullied after all, as there'll be a load of them in her school.

Normally I would say mind your own business, but I've already mentioned on here in the Madeleine McCann thread that I have no children.

Ok Amos, calm down.

I don't think Amos answers questions about his personal life with 'mind your own business', but whatever.

I was just taken aback by the list of most popular names. The male ones don't seem particularly masculine to me - Harry, Oliver and so on.

the male names are particularly unadventurous.

Jack, Harry, Oliver, Thomas, William << dickens novel style names.

At least the girls names have a bit of flair.

What a pair of twats, slagging off the names people choose for their kids.

Sorry, I should take a leaf out of your book and be positive about everything.

I expect a few Mo's and Jessica's from now on.

I slag off footballers and criminals. I don't slag off parents for naming their child Jordan or Jack.

Apologise you wanker.

er, no.

Just Stop.

Frank Zappa and his wife Adelaide Gail Sloatman had four kids together. Their names were Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.

No, you should apologise. There's bound to be someone on here who named their son Jack, you have upset them.

If so i'd be happy to hear their grievance, you don't have kids so i certainly didn't upset you.

so please. Just STOP.

I suspect Natasha's real name could be Jack, or he named his son Jack.

Hipster, apologise to Jack.

Why, they are just names. Can't believe people are using words like "hate" about a name.
