Aaron is probably the most popular of those names currently. Kyle was popular in the late 90s / early 2000s. Frank is one of those old names that will probably make a comeback soon. Graham is dated and Rylan is the name of someone who was on the X Factor, it may or may not become trendy.

My 8 yo dd has a Greame in her class.

Kyle was fashionable about 15 years ago, so plenty leaving school this year. Frankie and Aaron are fairly common, know a couple of each. Don't know about Rylan, isn't it that bloke off X factor, other than that I've never heard it.

I know one young Frank. Several boys named Aaron, though only know of, not personally. Rylan is sometimes mentioned on here, not too positively.

Graham? Hmm. I don't know of any young Grahams whatsoever. Possibly in the Keith/Norbert/Derek category (whatever that is, I've just made it up )

My neighbours have a 2 yr old DGS called Kyle.....

Anyway, at the risk of stating the obvious, names go in and out of fashion.

Graham and Frank were both pretty popular a generation or two back and are now out of fashion.

Never heard of anyone called Rylan though.

I've never heard the name Rylan. Do you mean Ryan?

I know boys called all those names apart from Graham. The boys range in age from toddlers to about 20.

I know lots of Grahams ranging from mid teens to 60's.

I also know lots of Aaron's ranging from 3 months to mid 30's.
