I’ve spent all weekend handing out presents to excitable small children, and what has to be the biggest pack of Brownies I’ve ever come across in my life. This all adds up to the need for an extra special post to give me a chance to share with you as many names as my poor mind can remember.
That said, this post does comes with the warning that, whilst I know their rough ages due for present-selecting purposes, I can only hazard a guess at the spellings of their names. This is by no means a complete list, rather, a collection of the ones I remembered, and for the sake of simplicity, yes there were many multiples of many of these names, but I’ve forgone this since I can’t give exact numbers on how frequent each names was used, but, the ones I saw time and time again?
- Alfie
- Ben
- Hayden
- Henry
- Lucy
- Isabella
- Joshua
- Ruby
Before unleashing the lists on you, it is worth noting that the children could’ve easily been introducing themselves by their nickname, not their fullname.

I was volunteering at our local Santa’s Grotto last weekend. Although I was completely frozen, couldn’t feel my toes, had sticky hands wiping

… melted chocolate on my jeans, I had a lot of fun listening to the names the children were giving Santa. There we two girls, sisters, 6ish and 8ish that were called Josh and Christian. They had another sister, just a baby, called Didyme. There was a little boy called Deibert and a very non-Spanish boy called Rafa. The was also a tiny Shanna and so many Graces that I lost count. I wish I could remember the other names, but those were the only ones that really stuck with me.
