L'an dernier, les nouveau-nés ayant vu le jour à la maternité de Guingamp ont reçu des prénoms divers et variés. Mais de grandes tendances sont (ré)apparues, comme la connotation bretonne ou anglo-saxonne, ainsi que les prénoms anciens. Sans oublier quelques originalités.
Clare's insight:
In Guingamp in Brittany, the top boys' names were Mathis, Timéo, Malo, Raphaël and Ethan. The top girls' names were Chloé, Jade, Lola, Eva, Juliette, Lise, Louane, Louna, Lucie, Nina and Maëlys. Breton names given to children included Hoël, Anaële, Annaël, Aodren, Aouregan, Arwen, Awen, Clervie, Elouan, Eleouen, Envel, Erell, Glenn, Katell, Kyllian, Killian, Maël, Maïna, Meven and Méven. Names from the English-speaking world included Brandon, Daniels (yep, with an -s), Dylann (we could perhaps make a case for that being Breton), James, Kelly, Liam, Ryan, Lily-Rose, Mackenzy, Méryl, Naomi, Printys (?), Ashton, Ayvon, and Pharel. More unique names included Endjie, Angye, Chelsea, Cheyenne, Diorly, Hélio, and Perle, and there was also a smattering of natably vintage names:Margot, Manon, Léonie, Philomène, Gonzague, Perrine, Pauline, Victor, Léonard, Aliénor and Achille.
