Cuckoo, Amelia has been around for eons - and I know one in her 20s.

Amelia was popular 100 years ago, and has been revived.

I know loads of Davids under 25. But then, I'm a teacher so I know loads of people under 25. Still, there are quite a few.

Amelia, no sorry I won't accept that one. Don't know any Amelias over 23. Louise is a definite non-dater. Good one.
