For the lads, Arthur was top of the pile with 20 more Arthur's being born that baby boys with any other name.
In joint second were the phonetic alphabet favourites, Oscar and Charlie.
Harry was fourth. Across the whole county, there were 34 boys born named Harry, compared with 23 named William and five named Charles. In the Telford area there were no babies called Charles or Elizabeth, suggesting Telford folks may not be the biggest fans of the Royals.
