What are the popular names of 2011?

I think I'm not alone in searching for that elusive name which is not too popular, but popular enough that it is doesn't sound made up.
To help I wondered if people could list the names of any brand new babies they know, as the 2009 list from the statistics office already seems a bit out of date.
I don't know many babies and am in the US - I don't want to pick something that is going to be really common when we come back to the UK.
I keep thinking of something (like Florence - the name of my childhood teddy bear) and checking on here to find I am being predictable!
Boys and girls lists welcome.
Thanks

Thanks, Have crossed a couple off my list. But have also decided just to stop worrying and pick something I love.

I had decided on Allegra for a girl, love the fact that it means happy. BUT just saw an advert for an allergy medicine on US TV called... Allegra!!! Have sadly put a line through it.
