The UK stats for 2007 most popular baby names have been released. The number one boys name for five years running is Jack. Big surprise to me was the name Alfie to hit the top ten this year, although it has been in the top hundred for the past five years.

Check out the boys names here, and the girls names here.

I'm also surprised that Tilly and Martha made it to the top 100 girls names, while Freddie, Theo and Louie made it to the top 100 boys names.

If you can't be bothered clicking, here's a snapshot of the 2007 top ten (excuse the formatting, Blogger is not table-friendly):
