Aiden, Henry and Jack all seem to be huge in this area at the moment.
Names like Oliver, Theo, Nathaniel and Finn aren't as popular yet but gaining quickly. |

| Jacob is a popular one, but I do like Ethan and Mason. |

| If you want to know what's popular nationally or by State, look at the Social Security list. Of course, those lists won't be an exact reflection of what's popular in the greater DC region or in your neighborhood. |

| There is a Breadon, Aiden and Greyson in one of my daughters playgroups. It's hard to keep from laughing. |

| I think the SSA list will do a breakdown by state and DC. Ssa.gov. |

I do too. Guess that's why they're so popular! |

| I agree that you should go with whatever name you like, even if it's popular, but the ones I'm personally a little sick of: Jack, Oliver, Ethan, Alexander, Max, and Finn is getting there. Can't get over the Finn/Glee connection... |

| I'd check out the mumsnet baby names forum if you want to avoid trendy names. They seem to be a couple years ahead of US trends in the UK. |
