Do you know any babies or young boys named Mark, John, Matthew

[burgersburglaries]

Hey, how many boys do you know with names like Mark, John, Matthew, Phil, Paul, Richard, William etc.? I feel like Daniel and David are somewhat common, but I haven't come across anyone with those other names in a while. Just curious!

No

The youngest "Mark" I know is 30.

A few Matthew’s around primary age.

I know three little Johns and one Matthew , none of the others but always loved the name Mark

I know a 2 yera old Mark

I’m a teacher and have primary aged DC. I know a lot of Matthews & Williams, a 12 yo John and 2 teenaged Philips. None of the others though. Mark was so popular in my generation - 40s - and is such a nice name.

Three little John's!? Interesting. Maybe John is gaining popularity once more.

The youngest Mark I know is also in his 30s.

John and William yes, the others no.

I know a Matthew of 4 and another one 6.

William of primary age.

But none of the other names you mentioned.

Tons of Williams and a Wil.

None of the others. I wonder if Matthew, Phillip etc are a generation away? I know plenty in their 30s/40s so it's not grandparent era yet.

A John who is about 12 and a Matthew age 15.
No Mark - a couple of Marcus though.

I know a baby Marco if that counts.
Also know an Edward, Christopher, David.
(Daniel too)

I know and 11yo Mark.

I know a 2yr old and a 12 yr old William.All the other names I know of are in their 20s and 30s

Lots of Williams, a few Matthews, a Daniel, a Richard. They are all good names though so I'm sure will be back again. Richard is one of my favourite boy's names and I think John is excellent, particularly if you have a more eccentric surname.

You can’t move for Matthews in DS’s class, and Matthew-type names like Matthias. He is 13 though. I know two John/Johnnys of that age and two Williams. And a Robert.

Williams yes, but not the others. Same with Peter and Simon, which are also of that era. I know a 12 year old Terry though.

I know a Matthew who’s 10, a John who’s 6, and a teenage William. None of the others.

I love all 3 names, particularly John.

I know some tiny Williams and Matthews.

I know a Y3 Matthew and quite a few Williams around the same age.

We have endless Pauls at work in their 50s but I don't know any younger ones!

I know a 4 week old John!
A couple of 8/9 year old Matthews
A few primary aged Williams

All of these names including David and Daniel are super popular among Russian speaking communities. In fact I know two sets of Mark Mathew siblings under 8

I know an 8yo Mark. Plus a couple of boys called David.

I don’t know why people are suggesting William might be similarly unusual, it’s very very common at my local primary.

I was introduced to a baby Barry recently 😳

I very nearly said 'oh like Barry from Eastenders??'

I think that's the only other Barry I've come across

I know a Luke too!

2x 14 year old Matthews. No johns. An 11 year old William.
