There are some baby names which never seem to fall out of favour – and if the top monikers from 1908 are anything to go by, they never will. 

Researchers from Preply.com, who analysed the top 100 baby names from 1908 and 2018, found that nine out of 20 of the most popular boys’ names from the Edwardian era still featured in the top 30 names, 110 years later.
