I guess I should have mentioned that my 18 month old son's name is George. How's that for an old man name compared to Colin or Martin :) I don't mind if the name is a little dated as long as the kid won't be teased. What I really don't like is super-popular names where you end up having 3 Chloe's in a class or something.
Now George doesn't sound middle aged to me at all - it sounds fine for any age! I guess it's weird how people's perceptions of these things are different depending on people they've known and such. I agree about the super-popular names thing though. Best to go for something timeless.
