I found the top 100 boy and girls names for 2005 for the UK:

I think that any name in the top thirty that I liked, I would reconsider for a slightly less popular name. Classes in Primary school (4-11years) tend to have around thirty children in. A lot more of my boys names are in the top 100, and seven of then are in the top thirty - including my two current favourites, Max and Dylan. Only four of my girls names are in the top thirty, and none of them are my current favourites.

But it doesn't really matter because I won't be having children for about ten years, by which time the top 100 will probably be mostly changed!

Names on my list in the top 100 (and the number they are ranked):
Joshua (2)
Oliver (5)
Ethan (17)
Alexander (20)
Jacob (21)
Dylan (24)
Max (29)
Nathan (35)
Owen (36)
Isaac (53)
Elliott (82)

Amelia (14)
Lily (16) /Lilly (74)
Holly (23) /Hollie (91)
Caitlin (27)
Jasmine (41)
Lydia (81)
Skye (90) - this one REALLY suprised me!

I was also suprised to see Logan on the british list. It's funny that Emily is so popular in both the US and the UK, Emily was #1 in 2004 too.
