Princes William and Harry are evidently proving an inspiration to parents across the country – as their names top a newborn baby boy list for 2011.
Of the 1,330 births announced in The Times newspaper this year, the royal brothers each recorded 31 entries.
Isabel was by far the most popular girls name, followed by Alice, Emily and Sophia.

The royal theme continued with the names of former English kings – George, Henry and Edward – completing the boys’ top five.
The popularity of William comes in the year of the royal wedding.
But The Times said there were only two Catherines with a C in the list, two more with a K, and not a single Kate.
Isabel, and all its variants, including Isabella, easily topped the girls’ list with 29 entries recorded.
It left Alice and Emily trailing in second with 14 parents choosing the name for their baby.
They were followed by Sophia, with 13 entries, Matilda and Sophie, with 12 each, Beatrice, Charlotte and Freya, all scoring 11, and Poppy in 10th place with 10.

Girls’ names do not appear to share the same royal influence as the boys, with only three Elizabeths recorded, two Alexandras, one Camilla, one Diana and not a single Ann or Anne.
Olivia, which was the most popular girls’ name in Britain last year according to the Office for National Statistics, was down to 17 in The Times.
A new entry at eight in the boys’ category is Max, Maximilian or Maximus, with 19 parents giving their baby the name.
James also had 19 entries, Alexander and Thomas both had 20, and Frederick was in 10th place with 17.
A number of unusual names were also recorded throughout the year with boys Wulfstan, Kyron and Addyson-Tyler and girls Calyssa and Madyson all being announced.
It is the second time Harry has led the league, as Bounty Parenting Club members also favoured the name for their offspring.
But its surge in popularity could also be down to Harry Styles, the heartthrob of X Factor boyband One Direction, or McFly drummer and Strictly Come Dancing winner Harry Judd.

Quite right, Annemasse, so let’s hope she chooses something foolish and difficult to spell – should be good for a few laughs in future school registers.However, with an uncle called Gary and a mother called Carole ( with an “e”) I fear the worst.Prince Tyler-Kai or Jayden Lee and Princess Hayleigh-Jayne or Shannon Brooke? Well, there are people on her constantly claiming that “Kate” is just like us….

and what’s wrong with giving a child a sensible name? Who wants to be a 70 year old man or woman with a name like Bear or Blancmanche……???

I prefer having a less common name, it makes me more unique, I suppose that is my excuse ;3

How many people actually announce the birth of children in “the Times”.
This article isn’t really telling us anything – if you want facts on popular names, look elsewhere!

Isabel is Spanish for Elizabeth, as it happens ! ( so, in a way, is royal too ).

How boring and predictable the English are? No imagination at all.
Report abuse
No Kylie’s or Wayne’s then!?
Report abuse
Boring names, who wants to be one of 5 kids in the class with the same name??
Report abuse
Could be wrong but isn’t Harry’s real name Henry? He is called Harry as a family nickname?

This article serves well to demonstrate the paucity of the average parents’ imagination. And when Kate has her first child, whatever name they choose for it will go straight to the top of the baby-names list!
