More info Many new parents are keen to select unique and uncommon names for their babies. To achieve this, some are turning to older names that have fallen out of favour, leading to a resurgence in vintage 'old-lady' names. QR Code Generator analysed data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) on the top 100 baby girl names in 1924, comparing them to the most recent ONS data on baby girl names to determine which of these nearly century-old monikers are the most and least popular today. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages The most favoured vintage baby name for girls is Lily, with 2,290 baby girls in the UK named Lily in 2023 - more than any other vintage baby girl name. Continuing the nature theme, Ivy was the second most popular, with 1,997 girls named Ivy in 2023. In third place, trends deviated from the floral and nature theme, with 1,899 girls being named Florence, reports the Liverpool Echo. However, some names have completely vanished despite their vintage status. Phyllis, Pauline and Gertrude have become extinct in the UK, with no babies receiving any of these three names, reports the Express. Doreen, Muriel and Brenda are the second rarest century-old baby girl names in the UK today, with only three baby girls each given these names in 2023.

Meta, Amazon, IBM, HP: Flexible leasing model at tech titan's Auckland offices changed
The time is now right, Pritchard said, to bring Generator under the Precinct umbrella by including that name in the business. Precinct Properties CEO Scott Pritchard in Pipiri Lane, the former Flowers Building in Wynyard Quarter on Auckland's waterfront. Photo / Jason Dorday Google isn't under the flexible leasing model but all the other tech giants are. They are in Wynyard Quarter and Britomart offices owned by Precinct. Pritchard announced the changes to Generator from Pipiri Lane – itself getting a new name for what has been called the Flowers Building, standing beside Beca's new headquarters. Jess Curnow of Precinct Flex said the ground-floor socialising space of what was the Flowers Building will be called Halsey Traders. The view from Pirpiri Lane on Halsey St. Photo / Jason Dorday That area can accommodate about 80 people at a cocktail event, she said. The ground floor also has a meeting suite with spaces ranging from a four-person meeting room to an executive boardroom for up to 14 people. Level two has an event space and terrace overlooking the Viaduct Harbour. It can host theatre-style events for up to 300 people, cocktail events for up to 500, or many different smaller events because it has room dividers to shut off and open up spaces. Work is now concluding on Pipiri Lane, ready for it to be tenanted from September. Pritchard said that will conclude a decade working in the Wynyard Quarter for Precinct. Pipiri Lane is due to be ready to be tenanted from September. Photo / Jason Dorday Is it over now? No, he said. Precinct is working with Orams on a new scheme for its waterfront land on Beaumont St and Pritchard said plans for that block were coming together. Precinct Flex was a natural evolution of the business, he said. Nearly done – inside Pipiri Lane, Wynyard Quarter. Photo / Jason Dorday 'The change marks an important new chapter for our business. It's about bringing together our leadership in the flex space with our best-in-class commercial offering to provide our clients with a cohesive solution and seamless service,' he said. Precinct doesn't lease flexible space by the square metre but rather by the desk, he said. Precinct Flex leases desks to about 250 businesses including Fortune 500 companies, and multinational and New Zealand corporates, he said. The remaining membership is made up of start-ups and entrepreneurs. Precinct Flex leases desks in Britomart, at 12 Madden St in the Wynyard Quarter, in the PwC and HSBC towers and in Wellington's Bowen Campus and Waring Taylor St. Anne Gibson has been the Herald's property editor for 25 years, written books and covered property extensively here and overseas.

Thousands of people soak up the heatwave at Trnsmt festival
The festival, which is the largest in Scotland, takes place on Glasgow Green over three days. Headliners include 50 Cent on Friday, Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro on Saturday, with Snow Patrol closing the event on Sunday. Dance legends Underworld are also scheduled for Saturday, along with Miles Kane, lead singer of The Last Shadow Puppets – the side project of Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner – replacing Wunderhorse on the main stage. Revellers watch James Bay perform on stage at the TRNSMT festival (Lesley Martin/PA) Controversial Irish rappers Kneecap were due to perform on Friday but were cancelled after Police Scotland estimated that additional resources would be needed if their performance went ahead. Rapper Mo Chara has been charged with alleged terror offences. On Sunday, singer-songwriter Brooke Combe, who rose to fame with her version of the Scotland football anthem Yes Sir I Can Boogie, in 2020, will perform on stage. Crowds congregated in the Radio 1 Dance stage, where the vibe was 'taps aff' for boys, while girls were mostly wearing bikini-type tops and short shorts. This year's weather was even hotter than 2024, with temperatures reaching 27C in Glasgow, compared to around 20C last year. It was very much 'taps aff' conditions at Glasgow Green (Lesley Martin/PA Wire). Rock band Twin Atlantic performed hits including Generator before a backdrop reading: 'I believe in conspiracy theories'. Some punters wore Saltire flags around their waists. Other festivalgoers wore Palestinian flags, while Taylor Swift-style cowboy boots and hats were also popular. Many revellers carried hand fans in an attempt to cool down. The festival has capacity for 50,000 people per day and is not sold out for the weekend, unlike last year.
