Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

What's are some fairly common but modern British names that someone in their early and middle twenties would have?  Both men and women.  Nothing that is the name of a Doctor Who companion, either, if you can help it.  So if you were born in the middle to late 80's what were the most popular names of the kids you went to school with?  That sort of thing.  I want to name Howard's children because his and Jackie's wedding is coming up shortly.  I can't find national statistics lists that date past the year 2000 for the U.K.

Err, when I was at school at school there were loads of boys called Adam, David, James or William and loads of girls called Kirstie, Katie, Sarah or Becky.

And, I'm not sure if this is countrywide or just Portsmouth, but seriously, every other girl I went to school with had the middle name Louise.

Well...I have a Rebecca, the dead baby is Adam, I have a James, and I won't do David and Sarah for obvious reasons, but William I do like. Maybe. Thank you on the middle name, too. I may use that.

Yeah, I sort of listed them all and went 'actually, half of those ae already in use', but I couldn't think of any others, lol.
