For the past few months, but not for much longer unfortunately, I have been working at the Registry of Hatches, Matches & Despatches so I get to see names from all the different eras, depending on the birthdates of people named on the various certificates.

In the last couple of months I have put through about 3 new birth registrations for babies named Imogen. That's not counting what other staff might have put through as well.

I don't know what has sparked that off, but funnily enough the first Imogen I ever met was just before I started at BDM the first time around, which was a year ago.

Names I haven't seen on new births:

Susan
John

Names for babies/kids that I have heard here in Oz recently:

Ruby
Sophie
Grace
Molly

My nephews' names (2 of them):

Amos (18 years) - named after a grandfather on our side & an uncle on Amos' father's side)
Llewellyn (25 years) (named for the Welsh connection in our family)

Helen
