Popular names that surprise you
I may have done a post similar to this a while ago, so I apologise if this is tired but I was just looking through the top 100 names for my country and was really surprised to see some there. I suppose I shouldn't be since I have little to do with young children. So what are some names that you hear frequently on young children in real life or in the top 100 names for your country/state whose popularity really surprises you?I don't meet a lot of young kids so I'll base my list off the top 100 for NZ
John- are people really still called this? Maybe the occasional honouring but not place 60 in the top 100
Arlo
Kingston
Isiah
Vincent (?!)Aria (number 24)
Indie
Indi (this would be place 26 if total births of both spellings were combined).
Olive
Florence
Imogen
EstherDo any of these names surprise you in their popularity? Are they common where you live?

I'm not surprised by Vincent. Its popular in Latino cultures and is often used as a Vincent Jr. Arlo is hipster popular, so I'm not that surprised there. I've seen a few Arias in my job.
