Most popular boys’ and girls’ names in Scottish Borders
Although Oliver and Amelia are currently ranked number one in the Top 100 boys baby names and Top 100 girls baby names charts in Scottish Borders, Nathan and Harper are the most popular names given to babies so far this year.
Also in Scottish Borders, Skye, Alana, Keera, Tanisi and Rhea are noticeably bucking UK baby name trends this year, whereas elsewhere in the UK, these names are considered to be more unusual girls names.
