On the boys side I am surprised David doesn’t make the top 30.  It is normally fairly high up the ranks. How can there be more Noahs!  None of the boy names are too bad though.  I like Christopher as a name but note that is also not on top 30 – I am very much out of fashion.

Emma, Charlotte, and Grace are all names I love for girls. Lucy, Holly and Samantha I like also.  I would never ever call a child Chloe though – blame Wainuiomata for that one.
