I was going to say Jane, but I see it's becoming more popular...

Brendan

Douglas
Bruno
Harold/Harry
Thaddeus
Stanley
Augustine
Thatcher
Ephraim
Duncan
Spencer
Cedric

If you’ll accept a name between 490-500, you can add Asa and Lawrence.

Blair
Matilda
Lorelai
Beatrice
Octavia
Laurel
Great
Marissa
Poppy
Marina
Noa
Martha
Deborah
Estelle/Estella
Judith
Opal
Nancy
Ramona
Iliana

And between 490-500, you get Lilith, Meredith, and Megan.

Augustine is just awful. I would do August over Augustine. And Great for a girl's name? Is that a misspelling? Never have I heard of Great as a name!

I didn’t say I liked all the names, just that they are familiar. Some I do like, but others not so much. And it looks like Greta auto-corrected to Great. Please, no one name your daughter Great!

PP who was confused. Greta is cuter than Great. Also, don't have any more children because Good and Fine would have a complex..lol

We considered Neil (my favorite), Scott, chad and jay

I also like Vaughn and Connell

My girls are named Hilarie and Erica. Also considered Dana, Elaine, Heather, Lana, Renee, Dawn, Tanith, Pamela and Laurel. Veronica was a front runner for #2, but I think it was somewhere in the 300s even though I was trying for under 500.

and Isaac are all top 500.

Isaac in particular is #30, hardly an uncommon name.

No, there really isn’t - names are subject to fad and fashion just like everything else.

Yup. Hazel hadn’t been a commonly used name in decades and now is in the top 50:

2nd vote for Norbit, but I prefer the spelling Norbitt myself

My daughter's name is Marie, it was in the 500s when we named her (2016). We also had Laura and Rachel on our list. We like names that are well known and not weird but not currently popular. They were more common than Marie, as I recall, but not within the top 100 at least.

Had a harder time with uncommon but still classic boys' names. David, Adam, and Paul were some i liked but my husband didn't. But I doubt any of those are out of the top 500.
