Not quite sure I would want a generic name.

My name was not on any of the lists.

My name stays in the top 40 through the whole lot.

It was a lot of hard work from me, and it's definitely paid off.  My thanks to everyone who helped along the way.

It's not that bad actually. I know 2 people called Sam, one I hardly ever see and the other goes to school with me. Met a few over my life but hardly any.

Anthony/Tony are names I hear way to often.

This is for babies registered in 2010. How old are you? Sure the popular names were different in your generation.

You may have already done this, but look at names in the credits of movies you watch.... see some interesting ones go by :)

(For those who watched the comedy festival last night)
Hey, I feel a bit ripped off -- most of those are ADULT names...

my son, Liam, was born in 2009. I didnt know it was that popular a name, I've only ever known one Liam in my life time (other than my son). Strange to think it topped the list, and there were 313 other Liams born the same year as him in NZ.
