Find out how popular your first name is by looking it up in the National Statistics Survey of British children’s names published today.
If you’re called Jack or Emily you have got lots of company.
Having been forced to study Anglo-Saxon history at university for a year I’m dismayed not to see more 7th Century names featured. What’s wrong with Bertwald, Hunwald, Sexburg, Egbert, Egfrith or Eggwhisk ? (okay that last one’s not real but the others are)
