Is Ben / Benjamin still relly popular?

I wanted Harry but given up cos apparently it's the most popular!

I think if you love a name you shpuldn't really worry aboutit being popular or not
Harry and Ben aren't the most popular imo anyway
Go with your instincts

I agree with mrsruffallo that if you love the name, don't worry.

Just a point to remember when looking at the National Statistics website is that they count Ben and Benjamin as two different names even though most Benjamin's are known as Ben, so it's difficult to see exactly how high up the list they really are!

They are both great names BTW
