Classic children's names conveying style and elegance top this year's favourites

The differences are apparent in language...obvious n'est ce pas?

.............................................

''Classic names reminiscent of stars from a bygone era have topped the list of the popular baby names of 2007, with Grace the favourite choice for girls.

Other names in the top 20 - including Ruby, Ella and Evie - suggest parents have shunned modern-day celebrities and taken inspiration from the likes of Grace Kelly, Ella Fitzgerald and Gracie Fields.

Singer Mika's No 1 single Grace Kelly could also have helped propel the name to the top of the list.

For boys, Jack remained unshakably popular, topping the list for the 13th year running. ''
