Question

Or do you know what the answers are? Many thanks

Answer 1

several yrs ago i saw a newspaper article on this.  it has been many years that john and mary are the commonest ones.  one year it was william - same time after prince william's birth.  another year was edward.  jack and jake was also found.  

for girls, anne is another favorite.  Liz - with long and short forms are still common

but nowadays its changing a bit but john and mary is still tops with lesser numbers.

u may note that in netherlands / france - the most common names found in the birth register is mohamed -  geeee!
