It’s been a good year for Jack, again. The name retained its top spot as the most popular boy’s moniker for the thirteenth year running. According to figures from the Office of National Statistics, 6,772 boys were named Jack in England and Wales in 2007, compared to 6,928 in 2006.
For girls, the most popular name was Grace. The rather rarefied Ava and the slightly more bohemian Summer popped up as new entries on the top 50 for girls. Jayden (like Will Smith’s son), Isaac and Finley appeared on the boys list.
