But then doesn't that make a traditional name something different?

I'd like to think so @neveroutofthekitchen. I love traditional names (actually my whole shortlist for DS could be considered so - William, James, Edward, Hugh, Alexander, Samuel etc) - but realistically if you count still living previous generations, there will be more William's, James's etc around than there will be, for example, Noah's (which only became popular in the last 20 years). In nurseries/classrooms however it may well be different...

I have twin girls and our ‘back up’ boys names were Charlie James and Oscar Henry. I still love the names but not enough to have another set of twins!!!!!
