The problem with this lies in not being able to predict how other people are thinking along the same lines - we looked at lists with a similar eye, and ultimately picked a boy's name that didn't appear on the Top 75 for the last few years. (The girl's name we had in mind is in the Top 75, but low, and short of it reaching Top 10 we were going to use it anyway.) We used it - and within the space of a year it was in the Top 75, the short form (which is how my son is actually known) is in the Top 50, and we've met quite a few his age or younger. Which is weird to me because when we named him everyone remarked on the rarity of it and how they'd never met one, or only ever met one in their lifetime etc - I had only met one myself, way back when I was at school. Go figure.
