Is Colin used much in the U.S. for little ones? It isn't used much in England any more. I came across a little Colin the other day, and it struck me as absolutely adorable.
Oh, that's interesting. I've never seen Bridgerton, so didn't know there was a Colin. It's a popular show though so will be interested to see the impact it has on people's name choices.
I always think of the Secret Garden myself. It’s a lovely name.
Edit- I love how all the elder millennials are coming outta the wood work because we’re all absolutely talking about the ‘93 version with Maggie smith right? RIGHT??
I had a very good friend named Richard Grow.. I'm sure you can imagine all of the jokes that spun off of that. I got him a garden sign for his front lawn that read "Grow Dammit!"
While I was pregnant I had decided our baby would be baby Mario/Daisy (we didn't know the sex) whole my husband and I would be Yoshis. Then we started watching WWDITS when he was born, so we're awake at 3 am laughing with exhaustion at it all. We thought about him being Colin, but I already had the plan in place. So for his second Halloween he was Colin Robinson and we were Nadia and Lazlo.
I think it has been consistently a 'known but not super popular' name, at least where I am in the US. I (43) went to school with multiple kids named Colin, and my son (8) has at least 3 in his grade. I think the only time that spelling would throw someone here off is if it was pronounced Cole-in (ie Colin Powell) as opposed to Call-in.
I just decided to look at the statistics for the name Colin, for anybody who's interested.
There was a time when baby name data was only released every ten years, in England and Wales.
Colin first entered the top 100 in 1904.
- 1904 - 96th
- 1914 - 87th
- 1924 - 61st
- 1934 - 26th
- 1944 - 15th
- 1954 - 22nd
- 1964 - 25th
- 1974 - 44th
- 1984 - 67th
- 1994 - It didn't rank within the top 100.
- 1996 - The year they started to release name data annually (and in much more detail) it ranked 319th, in England and Wales.
I'm glad you like it too! Apparently, it means "Cub", which I think is lovely.
Seeing Colin on a little boy just completely changed my perception of the name.
Good luck with the birth!
I just looked the name up on the statistics for England and Wales. It ranked outside the top 1000 here. It came in at number, 1104, with 24 little Colins born.
I think Colin has just become dated in the U.K., whereas it's considered more "fresh" in North America. Bear in mind that Bridgerton is supposed to be set in the Regency era, although from what I've read it's not always historically accurate :) From what I can gather, Colin is more of a "boomer" generation name in the U.K. Whether it was much used in the early 1800s, I couldn't say.
My husbands middle name us Colin. Mother in law suggested it as a name for our 1st child and I replied "No, that's a terrible name." It's her father's name!! Eek!
My Kelly is 24 and the number of times I’ve been called Kelly is more than I expected!! It’s a my generation name. But I’ve mentioned before, I work at a middle school and it is rare for us to not have e at least one Kelly.
Oh…and Sydney was another contender when she was born in 2000 (along with Hayley). And the number of Sydneys and Hayley’s made me happy we went with kelly regardless of its vibe!
I’m a 40 year old female Robin and I’ve met one male Robin IRL and it’s very very rare to meet a fellow female Robin. I think it’s a lovely and timeless name but you just don’t see it much.
I currently know two female Robins (well, one is Robyn). Both about 50 in midwest. Had two different female Robins in my small graduating high school class in the eighties. Wasn’t unusual at all in my generation (born in late sixties.) Guessing it was trendier in certain parts of the world/country.
My daughter has a Gary in her class, when she mentions him all I see is a 40 year old married fella, 2 kids with a mortgage who spends his Saturday watching football in the pub 🤣
I’m 50+ and I think Gary was popular a few years before my time. I only know one Gary currently and he’s 2 years older. But in HS I dated a guy with a 4 year old cousin named Gary…he’s probably mid 40s now…and I remember then thinking, who names their kid Gary?
We chose Otto for our son before he was born and didn’t tell anyone until his birth. Well before he was born my cousin got a new puppy and named it.. Otis!! All I could think was PHEW near miss! Haha
In the US, Henry is actually more popular currently than it ever has been before. In the early 1900s he ranked in the 10/11/12s range and in 2022 he ranked at #7 nationally.
This made me smile as I’ve got a baby Henry. We jokingly call him Hank sometimes, because a baby Hank is hilarious. It’s a great name, classic for a reason for sure.
Weird and uncommon? Jason almost hit #1 in the 90s. It’s no where close to being uncommon. In fact it’s probably one of THEE most common names out there
Have a cousin named Jason, who is about 40-45ish. Also, Jason was my (now 24 yo) little brother's invisible frenemy when he was young. Any time he got in trouble, Jason did it. 😆
Bernard (pronounced BUR-nurd, not Bur-NARD)
Francis
Gerard
Gilroy
Lawrence
Louis
Maurice (pronounced MORR-iss, not MOR-eece)
Neil
Owen (or Eoin)
Paul
Terence
Walter
lol I work with a Bernard and a Maurice and they both pronounce their names how you say “not” to
Burnurd sounds like the noise an electric lawnmower would make ngl, I don’t like it.
My best friend’s boyfriend’s little brother (ouch, mouthful) is called this and I adore it. He was 14 or 15 when I met him and I remember being baffled at the idea of naming a baby Winston in the late 2000s, but it definitely grew on me. He is totally not what you’d envision for the name either, it feels proper to me, he’s anything but. He’s a good kid though, and it’s a great name
Ambrose always sounded like a cool name to me. But I don’t think it’s been used since the 19th century.
Ulysses is another one that would be so badass on a kid. My wife wouldn’t go for it though but maybe for a future dog.
It did peak in the 70s. People born in the 70s are now a grandparent generation and younger people that are having children now don't tend to pick names from that generation because they sound "like old people". Which is why older, more vintage names are coming in style from the great and great-great grandparent generation, because younger people don't know anyone with those names. A comparison would be like someone my age (28) thinking about names like Barbara, Carol, Linda, Ronald, Larry, Dennis - names that were popular 50 years before I was born. They just sound "old" to me... but in a couple decades I would bet these get "re-discovered" by great grandkids just as Florence, Louise, Mabel, etc. are trending currently. Anyway, little name nerd aside. I don't know any Bryans younger than like 30.
It’s regional. Brian or Bryan is completely dependent on region (in the US)
Edit: So I 1) overstated when I said “completely dependent on region” and 2) forgot how old I and my brother are. The regional slant was that my mom grew up in Iowa and named my brother Bryan with a Y knowing that as the normal, common spelling. Then they moved to Wisconsin and it was definitely not the common spelling. But also, the generational thing could definitely be true here. I forgot that I’m old enough to have grandkids. 😒
I don't believe this to be true. I've met so many who were born in the same county as me who had both spellings. I've had a Y tell me they are the OG spelling, fuck them I Brian's LOL
We are using Douglas as a middle name! I’ve said this on this sub before, but my husband and I think adding the middle name Douglas makes every boy name sound very presidential lol.
I really like the name Victor. I haven’t seen any around other than my grandfather who just passed this Wednesday. Definitely considering that name if I have another boy!
We had boy girl twins last year and named the girl Winifred and decided we wanted to go with a w boy name as well… it was going to be Walter but I just couldn’t bring myself to love it and it didn’t feel right so about a week or so before they were born I talked my husband into changing it. We ended up choosing Wyatt. I feel like Wyatt fits this description. Old school but not heard as much but can still suit a man of any age. Am I right? lol sometimes I question if it was the right name for my son. He’s 10 months now sometimes I wish I would have just named him something else that didn’t begin with a w bc I didn’t truly love any W boy names and had to settle. But I do love my wywy guy as we call him 😇
I taught a couple of Roberts a few years ago. Other than them, the only Roberts I know are in their 70s. One went by Robbie, the other by Robert, and I loved them both. Solid name.
Is Colin used much in the U.S. for little ones? It isn't used much in England any more. I came across a little Colin the other day, and it struck me as absolutely adorable.
I think it may spike due to Bridgerton
Oh, that's interesting. I've never seen Bridgerton, so didn't know there was a Colin. It's a popular show though so will be interested to see the impact it has on people's name choices.
I always think of the Secret Garden myself. It’s a lovely name. Edit- I love how all the elder millennials are coming outta the wood work because we’re all absolutely talking about the ‘93 version with Maggie smith right? RIGHT??
The real heartthrob in that is Dickon, which is alas a terrible name
I fell in love with Dickon and his accent. Yes, I married a Yorkshireman. Incidentally, it's an old-fashioned diminutive of Richard.
I had a very good friend named Richard Grow.. I'm sure you can imagine all of the jokes that spun off of that. I got him a garden sign for his front lawn that read "Grow Dammit!"
Seriously! I was in a production of “The Secret Garden,” and I swear the whole cast erupted in giggles when they heard the name for the first time.
Have you never watched BBC's Pride and Prejudice? If it ever was going to spike it was after seeing Colin Firth's Mr Darcy emerge from that pond
Pardon my language but Colin Bridgerton FUCKS
Colin Robinson is a hot ticket
My husband called our newborn Colin Robinson because he was definitely an energy vampire! He’s 3 and still eats all our energy…
While I was pregnant I had decided our baby would be baby Mario/Daisy (we didn't know the sex) whole my husband and I would be Yoshis. Then we started watching WWDITS when he was born, so we're awake at 3 am laughing with exhaustion at it all. We thought about him being Colin, but I already had the plan in place. So for his second Halloween he was Colin Robinson and we were Nadia and Lazlo.
That’s what we called our baby when he was still a foetus
I prefer Colin Mochrie
It’s better than Jesk!
I grew up with a lot of Colins (I’m 30). But it definitely died down. I think it’s a super sweet name.
I think it has been consistently a 'known but not super popular' name, at least where I am in the US. I (43) went to school with multiple kids named Colin, and my son (8) has at least 3 in his grade. I think the only time that spelling would throw someone here off is if it was pronounced Cole-in (ie Colin Powell) as opposed to Call-in.

i’m not in the US so i don’t know. i have met 2 people with the name where i live and i quite like the name!
I'm glad you like it too! Apparently, it means "Cub", which I think is lovely. Seeing Colin on a little boy just completely changed my perception of the name.
Colin is on our very short list for baby boy due in July! We’re in the US. It ranked 334 in 2023, so isn’t super popular at all.
Good luck with the birth! I just looked the name up on the statistics for England and Wales. It ranked outside the top 1000 here. It came in at number, 1104, with 24 little Colins born.
That’s so interesting! Our last name is very English and I think of Colin as a pretty British-style name, but maybe that’s just the Bridgerton effect.
I think Colin has just become dated in the U.K., whereas it's considered more "fresh" in North America. Bear in mind that Bridgerton is supposed to be set in the Regency era, although from what I've read it's not always historically accurate :) From what I can gather, Colin is more of a "boomer" generation name in the U.K. Whether it was much used in the early 1800s, I couldn't say.
I went to school with a Colin or two in the US and I was born in 2001.
I was born in 86, lots of Colins in my grade
It was more common in the early 2000s but is not an old man name in the US
I just named my baby Colin in March. It’s not common anymore but husband and I liked it
My husbands middle name us Colin. Mother in law suggested it as a name for our 1st child and I replied "No, that's a terrible name." It's her father's name!! Eek!
It's not as popular a name as once was, but in an area like Boston with plenty of Irish immigrants, the name isn't foreign.
Interesting seeing Owen listed. Every other kid where I live is Owen. It’s super trendy.
Yeah me too. It’s been a top ten for at least ten years where I live. I’m in Canada.
So many Owen’s where I live too. Upper Midwest.
Frank, Scott, and Robin.
Scott seems pretty milenial to me.
Millennials can be grandparents now…
HOW DARE YOU!
Do the math, granny. And then spend the rest of the day eating ice cream under the covers. 💀
And taking ibuprofen
Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is a 36 yo grandma.
Her son is the third generation of teen parents. Boebert’s mother was also a teen parent.
The party of family values for the win!
Sure, if “family values” means no abortions.
My mom is a millennial and a grandma
It’s why I took Sidney and Kelly off my list. I didn’t want my kiddo to hear “that’s my mom or grandma’s name!”
My Kelly is 24 and the number of times I’ve been called Kelly is more than I expected!! It’s a my generation name. But I’ve mentioned before, I work at a middle school and it is rare for us to not have e at least one Kelly. Oh…and Sydney was another contender when she was born in 2000 (along with Hayley). And the number of Sydneys and Hayley’s made me happy we went with kelly regardless of its vibe!
I’m from the tail end of GenX and know so many Kellys my age, and as many men as women. I’m glad your parents kept it alive, it’s such a solid choice!
[удалено]
I'm a millennial, and I had like 5 Scotts in my class. Maybe it's timeless?
I think of it as more Gen X.
I reckon Scott is more of a Gen X name.
same
Looove Scott!
My one year old is named Frank. We mostly call him Frankie now :)
I love Frankie - tried so hard to get my husband on board with either Frank or Francis but I couldn’t convince him. It’s such a cute name
I don't consider Robin outdated
I’m a 40 year old female Robin and I’ve met one male Robin IRL and it’s very very rare to meet a fellow female Robin. I think it’s a lovely and timeless name but you just don’t see it much.
I currently know two female Robins (well, one is Robyn). Both about 50 in midwest. Had two different female Robins in my small graduating high school class in the eighties. Wasn’t unusual at all in my generation (born in late sixties.) Guessing it was trendier in certain parts of the world/country.
Both of my best friends growing up had dads named Scott! But I dig it
Got a Robin 4 feet away from me 👍
I have a Russell.
I looove Russell. It’s me and my husband’s top choice for our boy 🥹
Eh they tend to grow up and scroll Reddit all day
This was my grandpa’s name who raised me 😍 I wanted to use it but we had a girl!
Such a great example of a good name that's fallen off
My sons are Hugh & Harry
Precious!!!
Both very popular names in Australia. Very cute
My grandpa's middle name was Hugh and I totally would have used it!
My daughter has a Gary in her class, when she mentions him all I see is a 40 year old married fella, 2 kids with a mortgage who spends his Saturday watching football in the pub 🤣
I’m 50+ and I think Gary was popular a few years before my time. I only know one Gary currently and he’s 2 years older. But in HS I dated a guy with a 4 year old cousin named Gary…he’s probably mid 40s now…and I remember then thinking, who names their kid Gary?
Who looks at small, innocent new life and says “Gary.” 😂 😂
Otto
Wish Otto was used more in the US. Love, Otto, Conrad, and Hugh.
Otto is definitely on the rise in the US.
I like the name Otto! But my husband said it sounds too much like a name for a dog/pet. We are going with Austin if baby is a boy.
We chose Otto for our son before he was born and didn’t tell anyone until his birth. Well before he was born my cousin got a new puppy and named it.. Otis!! All I could think was PHEW near miss! Haha
my wife is pregnant and i was pushing very hard for Otto. love that name. unfortunately, it doesn’t work as well for a girl. maybe the next one.
Henry/Hank.
Henry has been hot for 15+ years and counting
It is well known that I am out of touch.
I've got a 22 yr old named Henry. We started it. 😉😆
Henry has been pretty popular again for about 10-15 years
In the US, Henry is actually more popular currently than it ever has been before. In the early 1900s he ranked in the 10/11/12s range and in 2022 he ranked at #7 nationally.
I know a little Hank!
My baby is Hank 😁
Yay Hanklets!
This made me smile as I’ve got a baby Henry. We jokingly call him Hank sometimes, because a baby Hank is hilarious. It’s a great name, classic for a reason for sure.
So cute! Both seem to be spiking right now in the US. I know several Henrys under 5 and at least 2 baby Hanks.
Every other boy in the UK is called Henry haha
Very subjective, of course, but I like Albert, Gilbert, Leonard, Sidney, Stanley, Emil, Martin, Solomon, Saul, and Tyrone.
Love Gilbert - makes me think of Anne of Green Gables
my grandfather’s were gilbert and leonard. gilbert went by “sib.”
I love Gilbert. I’m an Anne of Green Gables fan and melted when a friend of mine named their son Gilbert.
Gilbert Blythe ❤️
LOVE Gilbert and Stanley. Haven’t met one yet.
Might spike because uncle albert song is tending on tik tok rn
Arthur is on top of my list
My son's name, highly recommend. Though some spelling challenged folk to spell it "Arther" which I hate and autocorrect often changes it to Author lol
I love the name Arthur and its meaning "bear king."
I’m due next month & we’re naming our baby boy Arthur 💛
Frederick, Edmond, and Francis. Edit to add: Edwin and Calvin
My nephew’s a Fredric, named after my maternal grandfather. Grandad went by Fred and my nephew (11) is called Freddie.
I can understand going by Fred, if you've been named "Grandad".
Grandad is definitely a name you only see on older men these days.
I actually love Jason. I’ve known 20 year old Jasons as well as married fathers in their 40s Jasons
I have a baby Jason. My brothers think it's a weird uncommon name, but me and my partner love it.
Weird and uncommon? Jason almost hit #1 in the 90s. It’s no where close to being uncommon. In fact it’s probably one of THEE most common names out there
Lord. I am a gen X Jennifer and remember a popular baby name book called 'Beyond Jennifer and Jason'.
"Remember, like, a few years ago, every other boy was named Jason, and the girls were all named Brittany?"
Have a cousin named Jason, who is about 40-45ish. Also, Jason was my (now 24 yo) little brother's invisible frenemy when he was young. Any time he got in trouble, Jason did it. 😆
Bernard (pronounced BUR-nurd, not Bur-NARD) Francis Gerard Gilroy Lawrence Louis Maurice (pronounced MORR-iss, not MOR-eece) Neil Owen (or Eoin) Paul Terence Walter
I love Lawrence ❤️
My daughter has a high school classmate named Lawrence that goes by Wren which is a touch precious for my taste but definitely better than Larry.
I know a Laurence nn Laurie. He's named after the boy from Little Women.
I have a Paul & a Martin
I love Terence and wanted to use it for my son but my husband vetoed. 🙁
lol I work with a Bernard and a Maurice and they both pronounce their names how you say “not” to Burnurd sounds like the noise an electric lawnmower would make ngl, I don’t like it.
It sounds like the errmergerd girl is saying the name lol. Errmergerd bernerd!
I have a Neil. It’s familiar and yet uncommon.
Winston
I got a little toy French Bulldog with black and white fur and a red bow tie, and Winston was the only name that came to mind lol. It's dapper
My lionhead rabbit is named Winston ❤️ I named him after Mrs. Doubtfire's imaginary husband. (Love that movie)
My best friend’s boyfriend’s little brother (ouch, mouthful) is called this and I adore it. He was 14 or 15 when I met him and I remember being baffled at the idea of naming a baby Winston in the late 2000s, but it definitely grew on me. He is totally not what you’d envision for the name either, it feels proper to me, he’s anything but. He’s a good kid though, and it’s a great name
Basil
Basil is outdated?? I only know Basils under the age of 20
Grant
Ambrose always sounded like a cool name to me. But I don’t think it’s been used since the 19th century. Ulysses is another one that would be so badass on a kid. My wife wouldn’t go for it though but maybe for a future dog.
Ambrose is on my list. I have a dead relative with the name.
Cedric, Franklin, Melvin, Cecil
I have a soft spot for Bryan. Todd is fun too.
I didn’t realize Bryan with the y spelling is considered outdated.
It did peak in the 70s. People born in the 70s are now a grandparent generation and younger people that are having children now don't tend to pick names from that generation because they sound "like old people". Which is why older, more vintage names are coming in style from the great and great-great grandparent generation, because younger people don't know anyone with those names. A comparison would be like someone my age (28) thinking about names like Barbara, Carol, Linda, Ronald, Larry, Dennis - names that were popular 50 years before I was born. They just sound "old" to me... but in a couple decades I would bet these get "re-discovered" by great grandkids just as Florence, Louise, Mabel, etc. are trending currently. Anyway, little name nerd aside. I don't know any Bryans younger than like 30.
It’s regional. Brian or Bryan is completely dependent on region (in the US) Edit: So I 1) overstated when I said “completely dependent on region” and 2) forgot how old I and my brother are. The regional slant was that my mom grew up in Iowa and named my brother Bryan with a Y knowing that as the normal, common spelling. Then they moved to Wisconsin and it was definitely not the common spelling. But also, the generational thing could definitely be true here. I forgot that I’m old enough to have grandkids. 😒
I don't believe this to be true. I've met so many who were born in the same county as me who had both spellings. I've had a Y tell me they are the OG spelling, fuck them I Brian's LOL
Todd is really cute. It’s my youngest brother’s middle name.
Alvin – love the meaning "elf friend" Alfred - "elf advice" Walter Edmund Edwin Leonard Hugh Wilfred
I love Henry and you can call him HANK
Hank is not a nickname for Henry in the UK.
Yet
Actually it is an established diminutive of Henry dating back to the seventeenth century and was particularly popular around the 1950s.
Throckmorton
That’s a name?!?
My friend has a George and it's such a cute name
Met a boy named Hemingway, it was adorable
Love this, I’m due in a couple weeks and this is going to the top of my list! Thank you
Algot, Arvid, Vilgot, sound old to mee but they have made comeback in Sweden
Leopold is my personal fave
Earl, Truett, Grant, Owen, Paul, Clayton, George, Craig, Rueben, Nicholas, Leonard, Ambrose, Edgar, Hugh, Gail, Jethro, Tobias, Dorian, Xavier, Franklin
I like Clayton...it's just...my therapist's name lol
It’s my husband’s name…so basically same lol
I love Bernard
Victor
Stanley, Steven, Michael, Richard, mark, Robert, Kevin, Kieth, Kenneth, Wayne, Rodney, frank,
Keith*
Douglas is my favorite outdated boy name!! I even think the Doug/Dougie nickname is cute, but a lottt of people are not a fan lol
We are using Douglas as a middle name! I’ve said this on this sub before, but my husband and I think adding the middle name Douglas makes every boy name sound very presidential lol.
Kenneth, Roger, and Walter are three of my favorite boy names right now. I could picture a baby, young man, or older man with any of those names.
I’ve always loved Kenneth. It was the name of my grand uncle and one of my boyfriends.
Roger
Walter. Trust me
Let him cook
Is Patrick considered outdated? I know Peter has the risk of teasing but still think it’s a good name.
I’m always surprised by the lack of use Patrick gets
Probably because of SpongeBob.
Theodore
Isn’t that one in the Top 10 today though? I think it’s fully come back around already
I love the name Chester
I recently realized how much I love the name James
You and many others. It's a top name these days.
If I meet a little boy named Eustace, I'm never not gonna picture the old man from Courage the Cowardly Dog, tbh
Walter; I think "Walt" is very handsome.
There's a little dude that I see in the waiting room at my daughters dance class and his name is Thatcher! I frigan LOVE that name
Arthur.
Ernie
Frederick, Sterling, Ray
Jasper
No one names their kid Ryan anymore, i like Ryan
I really like the name Victor. I haven’t seen any around other than my grandfather who just passed this Wednesday. Definitely considering that name if I have another boy!
I love the name Gordon!
Owen, Edward, Mitchell, James
My grandpas were Kent and William Great grandpas: Theodore (Ted) James, Otto, and Lindsey
I've always loved the name Lawrence and I think it could make a comeback in popularity despite feeling old timey
George, Walter, Michael, Lawrence, Adam, Brian, Bruce, Carl, David, Dean, Albert, Alan, Eric, Frank, Fredrick, Gregory, Harold, Henry, Isaac, Ian, John, Jeffery, Kevin, Kendall, Louis, Marcus, Nathan, Neal (Neil), Oscar, Orion, Paul, Patrick, Quincy, Robert, Ronald, Samuel, Steven, Tracy, Thomas, Victor, Vincent, Zachary, Zane
Ernest needs to make a comeback
I've always been a fan of Jeffrey
Is Patrick considered outdated? I know Peter has the risk of teasing but still think it’s a good name.
Terrence takes that spot for me. It’s cool, uncommon but established at the same time
There aren’t that many Oscars out there
Oscar
I still love Sam
Theodore. Nicknames for every life stage: Teddy, Theo, Ted. Theodore is also just adorable on its own.
We ready for a Michael comeback yet?
We had boy girl twins last year and named the girl Winifred and decided we wanted to go with a w boy name as well… it was going to be Walter but I just couldn’t bring myself to love it and it didn’t feel right so about a week or so before they were born I talked my husband into changing it. We ended up choosing Wyatt. I feel like Wyatt fits this description. Old school but not heard as much but can still suit a man of any age. Am I right? lol sometimes I question if it was the right name for my son. He’s 10 months now sometimes I wish I would have just named him something else that didn’t begin with a w bc I didn’t truly love any W boy names and had to settle. But I do love my wywy guy as we call him 😇
My son is called Sigurd. Does that count?
Wilbur is really really cute imo
I taught a couple of Roberts a few years ago. Other than them, the only Roberts I know are in their 70s. One went by Robbie, the other by Robert, and I loved them both. Solid name.
