London Lovelies

London. It's certainly a city I would like to travel to someday. Buckingham Palace, Shakespeare's home, Trafalgar Square, and (of course) Harrods. I also like to peruse London's newspapers online for up-to-date trends on the naming front. I have found that British people are still using traditional and classic names for their children, rather than the type of names some people label as "made up" or "American". Have a look through this latest list, as there may be one that takes your fancy...

George and Isabella are certainly common in this list. It is also nice to see some 'O' names being used - Oscar, Oliver, Otis, Olivia. My friend Olga, who has a thing for 'O' names for obvious reasons, will be most impressed!

I'll leave you with a photo of Buckingham Palace.

Love,
