    Nearly all of the names on this list, minus, perhaps, the classics (David, Michael, John, etc.).

    I am thankful that my wife and I agreed not to give our boys idiotic names like “Verility” (and you just know that it would be misspelled as such) or “Grayson” and whatnot, yet also not trendy shit like “Oliver”.

      Wait, what’s wrong with Oliver? I always thought it was a normal but uncommon name that was making a comeback as an uncommon name again, lol

      Never met anyone with the name, though

        Not yet you haven’t. Oliver and Olivia are, as of last year, both in the top three in England and Wales as well as the US, Canada and Australia and, at least in Britain, have been there or close for the last decade or so.

        Basically, they haven’t quite grown up yet, but expect an increase of them making their own way in the world in 10-20 years.
