Baby conceived during lockdown, named Lockie

Covid

Will be the last Covid-inspired baby name we see?

Jodi and Rob Cross of Bedfordshire, England, finally became pregnant — after a year of trying — in early 2021, during a Covid lockdown.

They eloped in October, then welcomed a baby girl on November 28, 2021.

What did Jodi and Rob name their newborn daughter?

Lockie, after “lockdown.”

Jodi, who works as a hairdresser, also mentioned several name-related coincidences:

There was a girl who came into the salon whose surname was Lockey at the time we were considering names. And then we got married in Gretna Green in Scotland, where there are lots of [locks/lochs*].

*One of my sources spelled the final word locks, but the other spelled it lochs. I don’t know which one Jodi meant, so I included both, because either could be correct: Scotland is known for lochs (“lakes”), while Gretna Green encourages the use of lovelocks.

Top baby names in Nova Scotia, 1914

Speaking of popular baby names Nova Scotia…did you know that the province’s Open Data site includes birth registration records from the mid-1800s and from the early 1900s? I isolated the records from 1914 — the most recent year in the data — and came up with baby name rankings for about a century ago:

Top Girl Names, 1914
1. Mary (close to 700 girls)
2. Margaret
3. Annie
4. Marie
5. Helen
6. Dorothy
7. Florence
8. Elizabeth
9. Catherine (over 100 girls)
10. Alice

Top Boy Names, 1914
1. John (close to 600 boys)
2. Joseph
3. James
4. William
5. George
6. Charles
7. Robert
8. Arthur
9. Donald
10. Edward (over 100 boys)

The rankings represent about about 6,700 baby girls and about 6,800 baby boys born in Nova Scotia in 1914. I’m not sure how many babies were born that year overall, but it looks like the province’s total population in 1914 was roughly 500,000 people.

Hundreds of the names were used just once. Here are some examples:

I also spotted one boy with the first and middle names Earl Gray, and another with the first and middle names “Kermit Roosevelt” (the name of one of Theodore Roosevelt’s six children).
