HelpUnder-5 name sightings
I've recently been out and about in places frequented by either tourists or young families. Here are some names I've heard. Most the kids were under five years old, and unless I've said they're English, they are all Australian.

Genevieve - Love it!
Charlotte - Nice. It was my favorite for awhile.
Lotta - I prefer the Lotte or better yet, Lottie.
Darcy / Darcey (girl) - That name always seems so masculine to me. Probably because of Mr. Darcy.
Zachary - Eh, it's okay. Nothing terribly exciting.
Audrey - It's a pretty enough name, I guess. It's just not one that appeals to me.
Soph (nn, obviously) - Sophia is too princessy for me, but I don't like Sophie as the given name, even though I quite like Sophie. It's all too popular at this point though.
Nellie - Cute. I prefer it as a nickname.
Maisie (English) - Nope. Sounds too childish.
Milo - Just reminds me of Milo and Otis.
Gemma / Jemma - Something about Gemma appeals to me, but I just don't like it.
Nate - I like Nate. Nat too. Too bad I have a negative association with Nathaniel.
Harry - I don't care for it.
Maddison, nn Maddie - I don't like the spelling, and Madison / Maddison is masculine to me. Maddie is juvenile.
Will (English) - Okay, if it's short for William.
Keira / Ciara - Nah.
Toby - I used to think Toby was such a cute name, back in high school. Shortly after starting to like it though, a friend started dating one with a drug problem and it kind of ruined it for me.
