Thanks for posting this! I’m so excited to see name news from Oxfordshire (my beloved home county). The top names don’t surprise me, though it’s interesting that Jack has made a leap.
You’re welcome! :)
Too bad they didn’t include the numbers — it would’ve been interesting to see just how much Jack jumped in terms of babies as well as the rankings.
