DH and I have been struggling with finding a boy's name we both like and finally agreed on Oscar, but I keep reading on threads here about how popular it is in certain areas.

Now I have no clue what names are commonplace around my way (SW London) so I am intruiged to know what you think are the most popular boys names for the area you live in? If you are happy to share where you live and the top 3 or so names, I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts....

Read this and thought I don't know any Harry's around here (Kingston). One Henry.
Several Charlies
Several Williams
Lots of Archies
Fair few Bens
Lots of second children called Danny
A few third children called Tristan
Any variation of J (Jack, Jake, Jacob, Joshua) also common
Ollie also popular
Alfie seems quite common amongst new babies

We have a lot of Finlay-s, Callum/Calum-s and every baby seems to be called Archie
