Contestant from Junior Bake Off, Stanley, from eadt.co.uk
You’d think I’d be a pro at this blogging malarkey nowadays, but I somehow managed to leave for work last night without clicking the publish button. Since I didn’t actually get back until past midnight, I decided to be lazy and go to bed rather than provide you with your daily fix. Patience is a virtue, as my father would always annoying remind me, so hopefully I still have some readers out there 😉
Either way, onto the post. I caught another glimpse of Junior Bake Off this week, the kid-orientated version of BBC’s smash hit The Great British Bake Off. The one I watched a few minutes of the other day featured four young ‘uns named Jacob, Katie, Conal and Coco-Nina. Some other notable names from the series include:
Aasiya
Amari (m)
Galway
Hari
Joy
Kai
Marie
Saffron
Sangita
Stanley
Sylvia
Zyta
Speaking of television, there was a girl named Charis this week on Pointless who pronounced the first syllable of her name like one would say the first syllable of Karen. There was also a Lauren and Lauren III pairing who were both male, which reminds me that Laurence is a female name in France. On the subject of the French, Bree stole my heart with her list of French word names earlier on this week.
It’s slightly late, but Kate Silverton welcomed a daughter she named Clemency Florence Rose recently. David Cameron famously welcomed Florence Rose Endellion earlier last year, so Florence Rose is clearly a combination to keep an eye on. I’m still not entirely sure which name I prefer out of the two, given that I love both. There are plenty of -ce names out there right now, such as Alice and Beatrice, which are enjoying plenty of popularity.
My favourite outraged Daily Mail article of late has been about a couple’s messy divorce. A couple with four daughters named Arabella, Kitty, Lucy and Georgia. They also have a son with the delightfully complicated Ruaraidh.
11/11/11 UPDATE
There’s a girl on the news called Birdy. How apt given ‘yesterdays’ post!
Mer de Noms 
Thank you so much for the mention Lou!

I was going to send you the birth notice for Clemency Florence Rose, but then thought you’d probably cover it anyway. My laziness paid off, yay!!!
I thought it was an awfully pretty name, and sounds just like the baby names in “The Telegraph”!!!! 🙂

When I heard Kate Silverton’s baby name, I immediately thought of your Clementine post a few weeks back or so. Didn’t you suggest Clemency as an alternative? Nice work!
