These were the most popular baby names in the English town of Hartlepool in 2007:
Boy Names
- Jack (which also ranked 1st nationally)
- Alfie (10th)
- Lewis (16th)
- Ethan (15th)
- Kyle (53rd)
Girl Names
- Millie (which ranked 21st nationally)
- Emily (4th)
- Sophie (6th)
- Ellie (13th)
- Chloe (7th)
It seems that parents in Hartlepool have a special affinity for the names Kyle and Millie.
The proportionally high usage of Kyle might be due to media exposure: Kyle Fisher, a 2-year-old from Hartlepool, died under suspicious circumstances in mid-2004 and his name has been popping up in the local news ever since.
