Most popular names in your area? (Boys)

[Wavedancer]

DH and I have been struggling with finding a boy's name we both like and finally agreed on Oscar, but I keep reading on threads here about how popular it is in certain areas.

Now I have no clue what names are commonplace around my way (SW London) so I am intruiged to know what you think are the most popular boys names for the area you live in? If you are happy to share where you live and the top 3 or so names, I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts....

Go for Oscar.We have an Oscar and he is the only Oscar I know and obviously we also love then name.
However,I do know a cat and a dog with the same name but that doesn't bother us in the slightest.
We also have an Ethan and tbh there's not many of them around here either.
We're in Essex.

[ohdearwhatamess]

Oh, and Charlie. Lots of those. Probably the most commonplace atm.

[MyEye]

North London:
Thomas
Noah (three Noahs in ds's nursery class)

[joshhollowayspieceofass]

that's so funny about the cat and dog. DS's name (not on this thread and unlikely to be) has elicited this response from about 5 people who asked what we'd called him.

"Oh, my dogs called that"

"Oh, my neighbour/sisters/mothers dog's called that.

Yeah, cheers

[MrsBates]

Just met a Vlad. NE London. Not many of those though.
