The rarest baby names in the UK have been revealed

A name that's unusual enough that five children won't have the same name at playgroup! Interesting, eh! has a record of all of the baby names given each year, and the 2017 list of baby names has some pretty rare ones.

The ONS revealed that Hansel made an appearance, and of course, we couldn't help spotting the name Prue on there, which we all recognise from The Great British Bake Off restaurateur, Prue Leith. The first is the pretty name, Adelaide. The name Adelaide came from the noble German princess who married British King William IV in 1830. Adelaide grew a reputation and was known as Good Queen Adelaide. Adelaide was even chosen by Katherine Heigl for her baby girl.

Prue is a shortened version of Prudence or the medieval name Prudentia, and it is popular as a girl's name. Prudence means good judgement, which makes complete sense with Channel 4's decision to have Prue Leith on The Great British Bake Off since 2017. Prunella is also an alternative which means plum! The Welsh name Reese is a new modern way of spelling Rhys or Rees, following the way they spell Reese's Pieces chocolate bar.
