Things changed substantially when it came to the boy's list though, with Asher coming it at number one. The Hebrew name was followed by Atticus, Jack, Theodore and Oliver.

And when it comes to trends on the rise it seems the return of old-world names is set to continue, with Evelyn, Ada, Cora, Esme, Nora, Ophelia and Naomi all among the top 100 searches of the year.
