- Hello, lovely students,
and welcome back to English with Lucy.
Today, we're going to have a really useful
pronunciation video,
one that you will use a lot if you ever visit England.
I am going to talk you through the 100
most common girls names in the UK in 2021, now 2022.
Not only am I going to show you the names,
I'm also going to show you how to pronounce them,
and I'm going to show you their position the previous year.
So you can see if they are gaining popularity,
or losing popularity.
As always, there is a free PDF that goes with this lesson.
It contains all of the names,
and their pronunciations in case you want to study them.
If you would like to download that free PDF,
just click on the link in the description box,
enter your name and your email address.
You sign up to my mailing list,
and the PDF will arrive directly in your inbox.
And after that, you will automatically receive
all of my free weekly PDFs,
along with my news, course offers, and updates.
It's a free service, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Right, let's get started.

The full list is in that downloadable PDF.
Just click on the link in the description box,
and don't forget to connect with me
on all of my social media.
I've got my Instagram, EnglishwithLucy,
or my personal one just @Lucy.
I've got my website, englishwithlucy.co.uk,
where I've got a fantastic interactive pronunciation tool.
You can click on the phonemes and hear me pronounce them,
and pronounce words that contain those phonemes.
It's a fantastic tool.
If you'd like to improve your listening
and vocabulary skills even further,
then I highly recommend my vlogging channel,
where I document my life here in the English countryside.
All of the videos are fully subtitled
with English learners in mind,
so you can use them to improve your vocabulary
and your pronunciation.
I will see you soon for another lesson.
Bye.
