Ages of oldest people you know with a current top 10 name

What are the ages of the oldest people you know with a current (ONS 2017 England & Wales) top ten name?

I have a top ten name and don't know of anyone else older than me with it (although fully aware there are plenty around) so find this sort of information interesting. Particularly interested in the girls name list as I'm under the impression these change a little more than the boys list.

Top 10 girls names 2017:
Olivia
Amelia
Isla
Ava
Emily
Isabella
Mia
Poppy
Ella
Lily
