FOR REAL BABY NAMES 
Wow Zimmer … it just reminds me of a zimmer frame! Glad to see a young Arthur, who I guess will be called Artie from birth.
I didn’t expect this, but most of these names do look eerily familiar. I do knows kids with either these first names or these second names (or they fit in with a particular trend in regard to sound).
Yeah, I’ve never seen a Zimmer before either. 🙂
I just knew there had to me a Lachlan there…
Yeah but were expecting Lachlan Atila??? 🙂
I like that Australia seems to be picking up on more British-sounding names like Florence, Arabella, Amelia, Maisie and Bessie. It’s cute! I can’t stand Lachlan or Lachie, but it’s such a trend here unfortunately! Zimmer certainly is interesting, I wonder if it has anything to do with the composer Hans Zimmer…?
I know. I never see Lachlan’s here in the U.S., but I see tons when I’m searching through Australia. I wonder why its so popular there, but not here.
Maybe that’s where Zimmer came from. I forgot about him.
Lachlan Murdoch is the son of Rupert Murdoch (moderately wealthy, might have heard of him?) 😉
Anyway the Murdochs come from old Scottish stock, so they chose a good solid Scottish name for their son. I think the name was already in use around that time though.
I guess everyone wanted the same name as the rich guy’s kid, so Lachlan took off in a big way. Cue 40 years later, and there’s been enough time for more generations of Lachlans to be named after dad, godfather and uncle Lachlan .
There’s some famous Lachlans in Australia’s history and places named after them, so these must all help the rise and rise.
I think Australia is just a more Scottish place than the US.
Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense.
