TJina Noah limeingia kwenye orodha ya majina 10 mashuhuri zaidi kwa kupewa watoto wavulana kwa mara ya kwanza, huku Amelia likisalia kuwa jina ambalo wazazi wengi wanawapa watoto wasichana England na Wales, taasisi ya taifa ya Takwimu Uingereza imeonesha.

Jina Oliver ndio linaloongoza upande wa wavulana, likishikilia nafasi ya kwanza tangu 2013 nalo Amelia likiwa juu kwa wasichana tangu 2011. Watoto walioitwa Oliver mwaka 2015 ni 6,941 na Amelia 5,158.

Maafisa wa ONS waliorodhesha majina kando kwa mujibu wa jinsi jina liliandikwa.

Iwapo majina yanayotamwa kwa njia sawa yangewekwa pamoja, basi orodha hiyo huenda ingelikuwa tofauti kidogo.

Mfano ni jina Muhammad ambalo linashikilia nafasi ya 12 likiwa na watoto 3,730.

Kuna wazazi walioandika jina hilo kama Mohammed (2,332) na wengine kama Mohammad (976). Iwapo majina hayo yangejumlishwa, basi jina hilo lingelikuwa katika 10 bora.

Yalikuwepo majina ya kushangaza. Kwa mfano watoto wavulana 17 na wasichana 15 walipewa jina Baby.

Majuzi, utafiti ulionesha karibu sehemu moja kati ya tano ya wazazi Uingereza wanajutia majina waliyowapa watoto wao.
