Johnathan seems to be a favourite underrated.

@Reddahlias kind of. Names that are say top 100 but you feel like they shouldn’t be. I also really like Conrad! I never hear of any!

@Mumofgirls2017 oh Juliet I love too. Such a pretty name.

Have to agree with you @OliviaFlaversham about the ee/ie ending names not to my taste either.

I love Peter. Rarely used anymore.

Peter’s actually lovely @Kranke surprised it’s not more popular with Peter rabbit.

I can't believe Wilfred is not too 100, I know 4 lol

I think Theo is probably the most boring and overused boys name.
An I can't stand Aria/Arya, completely over used where I am, millions of them and usually hyphenated with Rose/May/Mae/Mai etc
Oh and Elsie and other old lady names, completely over used!

I think Toby is really underated, I only know of 1 and I think it's an amazing name!

Underrated - Ariadne, Heidi, Isolde and Lyra

Overrated would probably be something like Ellie or Jack or something.

Underrated boys Gareth, Philip, Solomon
