Lisa Penney , of Bounty , the UK 's largest parenting club , said : 'Celebrities like the Beckhams are renowned for choosing unusual names for their off-spring and today 's parents are quick to follow a trend in a bid to make sure their choice of baby names stands out from the crowd . 'But baby name trends can change quickly and names that first seem unusual can quickly become common in the classroom . 'Just a couple of years ago Ava and Isla were pretty uncommon as a baby girl 's name , yet now they regularly feature in the top ten . 'Likewise for boys , a decade ago the names Jacob and Noah were rarely considered , but nowadays parents look beyond previously traditional biblical names like Matthew , Luke and Adam . 'Whilst certain baby names can quickly rise to fame they can just as easily fall from favour . Take Tilly , Lexi and Lacey for example , now that they are more common in classrooms across the country they no longer make the grade for new parents who want a name that no other child is likely to have in the playground . ' A list of the top 100 names for boys and girls was published in December , showing Jack and Emily were the most popular .
