I have collected hundreds of birth details for baby boys in England since January 1st 2012. Based on that here is my top 30 for the year so far. A top 50 will arrive here early August. As always I take into account all possible variant spellings when calculating any names popularity. Official stats are not only a year behind me  but they also treat each variant spelling as if a totally different name. Names with several variant spellings are therefore at a huge disadvantage, and official stats cannot truly tell you how popular a name really is.

1.) Harry                                                                       
2.) Noah
