Names that were unusual when your DCs are born and are now everywhere

[KellyanneConway]

22 years ago I had a beautiful DD, Ella. I knew no one else with that name and I got asked more than once how to spell it! There were no other Ella's in the same school year as my DD all through primary and high school. When my Ella was doing volunteer work in primary schools a couple of years ago, she said it seemed like every other little girl was called Ella.
I still love it though and so does my DD. We like to think we started the trend

I have a 15 year old Oliver which seemed unusual in 2003.

It has been number one boys name for the past few years.

He's the only one in his secondary school.

My ex mil was horrified at the time over his name
