    Do you have some examples of these 'new', 'fresh' or innovative' names that you so like?

    that's a pretty Youth Court list of names!
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Spike I don't mind, but the rest are all very American.

    Chuck I think is awful.

    I could imagine kids turning Chuck into 'Chuck-up'

    Is that the voice of experience?

    To be honest, I wouldn't pick any of those names for a child of mine. Neither would I actively publicise any of my children's names online. My favourite names stay private.

    Yes, best to be safe - Who knows what could happen if a bunch of strangers on an internet forum knew your favourite names?! :p

    Exactly. They might become as common as all the names in this poll.

    Also see: Jack and Harry

    My point really is my original one about lack of imagination. I wouldn't ask the Internet to name a pet, never mind naming a child.
