babynamesIt's funny to read the posts in this community from a British perspective, as names like 'Gavin' and 'Ian' keep popping up as unusual. These names are so common and dull in Britain, that meeting a baby called Gavin would make me cringe.
It's also interesting to note the similarities across the pond. Classic names such as William, Elizabeth, and Rose seem equally popular in both countries.
Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this?
