I'm surprised Christopher was so popular back then. I think it's because I know so many who were born in the '70s and '80s, not to mention a couple who are still small children that I think of it as being a much more modern name.Barry is one of my least favourite boys' names. I just do not get the appeal of it!

Christopher Lee! & thinking about it, there's one in my family tree in the 1700s. It's a proper classic that's been in long-time constant use, but yup, I've never really thought about it as one either because of the millions of Chrises in the 70s and 80s. Interesting.Totally with you on Barry. It just reminds me of the seaside town in South Wales, and thus has an aura of scuzz about it :)

Fairly straightforward. Alan stands out to me. So does Keith. Keith is far more middle-aged in the States. I would say that is was more popular in the mid to late sixties here. Colin is far more of a 90s name to me. Roger is one of my loves. It's so cheeky and adorable and old-man.
Roger Alan would make a lovely name, as would Terence Barry.
