What are the top baby names in Scotland and locally in Dundee, Angus, Fife and Perthshire?
What are the top baby names in Scotland and locally in Dundee, Angus, Fife and Perthshire?

Boris Johnson’s baby daughter is most likely to named Charlotte according to bookies.

The name – which was that of the Prime Minister’s mother who died in September – has been given odds of 5-1 for his second child with wife Carrie, born on Thursday.

Other favourites include Violet and Florence (both 8-1), Olivia (10-1), Emily (11-1) and Mia (12-1), according to bookmaker William Hill.

But how popular are these names among parents in Scotland? And what are the top baby names in Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perthshire?

Charlotte was 12th favourite in Scotland last year, with 183 newborn girls given the name. It was top choice in Perthshire, where 14 babies were given it in 2020. The most frequently chosen names for girls were Ava in Dundee, Isla in Angus and Olivia in Fife.

Neither Violet nor Florence ranked in any of our top 10s locally, but Olivia did for all four areas. Charlotte was also in the top 10 in Dundee, as were Emily and Mia, and Emily was in Fife’s top 10.

The PM is under fire on several fronts, including Downing Street Christmas parties and his flat refurbishment, but the birth on Thursday morning of his daughter with third wife Carrie will be bringing the couple some joy amid the flak.

The tot is a little sister to Wilfred, born in April last year.

A statement issued for the Johnsons on Thursday said: “The Prime Minister and Mrs Johnson are delighted to announce the birth of a healthy baby girl at a London hospital earlier today.

“Both mother and daughter are doing very well. The couple would like to thank the brilliant NHS maternity team for all their care and support.”
