What names would you expect a man in his early to mid 40s to have?

[Randombabynamequestion]

Odd question I know but this stems from a discussion/debate I'm having with a friend.

Ben, Tom, Matt, Steve, Jonny, Ollie,

Add Grant, Scott, Russell and Chris to the list if I've missed them being posted so far. This thread is basically listing every male I went to school, college and uni with.

Mine would be
David
Stephen
Andrew
Neil
Douglas
Simon
Craig

Based on people in my age group we know … John, Mark, Ben, Darryn, James, Jim, Dave, Matt, Nick.
In Scandinavia there were loads of Mattias & Magnus.

Ollie is a bit younger I'd say. Have we had Dan and Henry? The public schoolboys at uni were called Henry or Tom.

Daniel, Stephen, Ian, Owen, Michael. Gavin, adrian, all pretty standard ones and nothing outlandish compared to young kids these days.

Dan
Robert/ Rob
Alex
Matt

Neil
John
Wesley
Andrew
James

David is my favourite boys name. It suits a baby, a teenager and a man.
