So if you're an expecting parent and Baby name experts at top boy and girl names from the era making a comeback and why they're getting popular again. Girl Names Adelaide READ MO~RE ON BABY NAMES According to the moniker experts, names with the 'ad' sound like Adeline, Madeline, Addison, and Adele are all on the rise in the UK, but Adelaide is arguably the most distinctive of the bunch. There are also plenty of nickname options that come with the name including Addie and Heidi, the latter of which is a longtime favourite in the UK. Bea Originally, this was a nickname for the Most read in Fabulous British parents love this take on the classic name and was ranked within the Top 100 names from 2013 to 2019. Mum accused of 'child abuse' after showing off 'giant' 4-month-old baby whose size is 'off the charts' Birdie "Birdie rose over 180 spots between 2022 and 2023, making it an extremely hot name," says "It was once a nickname for full forms like Bertha and Berenice, which are unlikely to come back into fashion anytime soon." Cecilia According to the data, Cecilia is on the rise in many English-speaking countries, including the US and UK. It's a classic name from the Victorian era but it was neglected as other trendy traditional names gained popularity like Amelia and Charlotte. However, due to being forgotten for years, it now has a fresher feel parents are loving. Estelle Estelle and other starry and celestial names (think Celeste, Luna, Aurora, Nova, Selena) are really having a moment right now according to the name pros. Parents who are drawn to the celestial name trend as well as vintage names are likely to use Estelle. Goldie While this was traditionally a nickname for someone with blonde hair, Goldie is now fair game for the birth certificate. "It rose over 260 spots on the charts in 2023, making it one of the fastest-rising girl names in the UK," adds Nameberry. "Many parents like its cheerful and colourful associations." Henrietta We Brits love a unique name apparently, and Henrietta fits the bill . With other traditional yet rarely used names like Matilda, Harriet, and Ottilie going mainstream, Henrietta has captured parents' eyes. Opal Another trend Nameberry has picked up on is 'O' names becoming more and more popular. Olivia, Orla, Olive, and Ottilie have surged in use and Opal appeals as an option that has the trendy sound without the widespread popularity (for now).

At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name. The dilemmas are endless... My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could - partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we'd only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two. How wrong we were...

The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby? It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always I don't want to be THAT person.

It saw a jump in usage after the release of Greta Gerwig's Little Women adaptation in 2019 played by Timothée Chalamet. Ozzie / Ozzy Ozzy is the dominant form of this name, but both variations are rising across the English-speaking world.

METALLIS KICKS OFF 2025 EXPLORATION SEASON AT GREYHOUND PROPERTY, IDAHO
VANCOUVER, BC, July 8, 2025 /CNW/ - Metallis Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MTS) (OTCQB: MTLFF) (the "Company" or "Metallis") is pleased to announce the commencement of the company's 2025 exploration program with the first ever geophysical survey at its Greyhound Property (the "Property") in central Idaho. The high-resolution drone magnetic survey (the "Survey") will identify and refine targets in advance of the Company's planned summer 2025 drill program. A total of 298 line-kilometres will be flown over the entire property with the resulting data expected to further delineate structural controls associated with known mineralization. The Property hosts multiple high-grade silver-gold-antimony prospects within the historic Stibnite Mining District, a prolific region in Idaho known for antimony production. Mineralization at Greyhound is associated with a 3.5 km-long shear zone featuring multiple historic adits and which remains untested by modern drilling or geophysics. Dave Dupre, VP of Exploration for Metallis, commented "We're very excited to kick off the 2025 exploration season with the first ever geophysical survey at the historic Greyhound Property. Building on 125 years of previous prospecting and historic mining, this marks a major milestone in advancing the Property through the application of modern exploration techniques. With three priority drill targets already outlined and several other zones under evaluation, the survey will help us better understand the structural architecture that controls the mineralization. This work will both significantly expand our knowledge across untested parts of the Property and aid in refining the existing drill targets." Dupre added "With antimony prices remaining highly elevated and precious metals hovering near all-time highs, the timing is ideal to aggressively advance this highly prospective asset." About the Survey The drone magnetic survey is being conducted by Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd., a global leader in UAV-based geophysical services. The survey, totaling 298 line-km, will consist of high-resolution magnetic data collected at 25 m line spacing flown perpendicular to the known mineralized shear zone (See map below). Results from recently completed rock geophysical testing demonstrates that the mineralized material displays anomalous magnetic susceptibility values helping distinguish different rock types and mineralized zones (See Metallis News Release dated February 13, 2025). Key objectives of the Survey include: Identifying cross-cutting structures or faults that may host new high-grade shoots and support future drill targeting; Tracing the Greyhound shear zone beneath overburden to identify magnetically destructive alteration patterns associated with mineralization; Exploring previously untested terrain for parallel shear zones, similar to those observed at the Birdie and Akita showings. The results will also be used to guide any future Induced Polarization surveys along with a drill program planned for summer 2025. About the Greyhound Property In February 2024, the Company optioned the Property which is located in Custer County, Idaho, approximately 42 km northwest of the town of Stanley and 35 km south of Perpetua Resources' Stibnite Mine. The Property was the center of an active silver mining camp in the early 1900's and at one point contained a smelter and two active mines situated along the 3.5 km Greyhound shear. The Greyhound targets are hosted by prominent shear zones with polymetallic quartz - sulphide veins containing elevated concentrations of Au, Ag, Sb, Pb and Zn. They are comparable to numerous mines in North Idaho's Silver Valley along Interstate 90. This famous district is one of the most prolific silver districts in the world. The total quantities produced are impressive: over a billion ounces of silver, 3 million tons of zinc, and 8 million tons of lead totaling over $6 billion in value, ranking the Silver Valley among the top ten mining districts in world history. Qualified Person David Dupre, Vice President - Exploration and the Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed, and approved the technical information contained in this release. About Metallis Metallis Resources Inc. is a Vancouver-based company focused on the exploration for gold, copper and silver on its flagship 100%-owned Kirkham Property in Canada, situated in northwest British Columbia's Golden Triangle, and on the Greyhound Property, a gold/silver/antimony target in Idaho, USA.
