I'm going to cheat a bit. I'm in too minds whether to have a 'sensible' top 10 and a more 'unusual' top ten so I'm putting two versions:
'Unusual':
Girls:
Elizabeth
Josephine
Harriet
Rosamund
Freyja
Adelina
Flora
Grace
Isabel
Cecilia
Boys:
Charles
Theodore
Frederick
Darcy
Edmund
John
Bertram
Tristan
Sidney
Francis
'Sensible'
Elizabeth
Mary
Rose
Catherine
Jane
Frances
Eleanor
Anne
Helen
Charles
William
John
Edward
David
James
Peter
Thomas
Benjamin
Henry
Middle names here for those curious: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3137929&board=test
I'm in the middle of a name-reorginisation period :)

Haha thanks, I was just coming on to post this!
I was just coming on to post this when I saw that you already had. Anyway, here's mine:

1. Evan
2. Samuel
3. Patrick
4. Matthew
5. Alexander
GIRLS:
1. Gracie
2. Annie
3. Caramia

Not much has changed. Evan, Samuel, and Patrick are still my top 3. However, Matthew has replaced Marc and Alexander has replaced Andrew. As for girls, Gracie is now my top name, while Annie is number 2. Caramia is a new addition at number 3, Madeleine went from 1 to 4 and Giovanna is now number 5. Ava is no longer on the list.

I can't believe you would consider August as a name. That is so awful, it's got to be one of the worst things I've seen.

9. Ezra - I've been loving this one too latley (funny, not that long ago it was one of my least favourite names)
You could name my kids any day of the week.

Some people had ten total, some had ten of each.
I had ten of each, so I did it the same way this time.

I'm going to do this without looking at my previous top ten, so that I can compare. I think last time I did it in alphabetical order, so I'll do that again.
Girls:
Agatha
Clementine
Colette
Jadzia "Jazz"
Karen
Lyra
Naomi
Noelle
Pamela "Mel"
Zelda
Boys:
Amadeus
Aramis
Cyrus
Desmond
Frederick
Gideon
Luke
Rowan
Seth
Waldo
EDIT: Oh dear, last time I only did five of each. Well, I think from now on I'll do ten of each. I think maybe I did a different top ten post a while ago, maybe I should hunt that down.
EDIT 2: So I did do a top ten - on January 19th. Melody and Adelaide were both bumped off that list and replaced with Naomi and Jadzia. Phoenix, Clifford, Davis, and Cecil were all bumped off my boys' list, though I think some of them might move back on.

All of your girls, practically, are boys' names.
1
Don't you like more "girly" names? I just find it a little confusing, and there are so many beautiful names out there with strong feminine character.
1
"Girly" names are fine, I just prefer to use names that I love. I happen to love names for girls that are typically used for boys. I guess I don't choose names based on what society determines to be male/female.

How do you pronounce Llewelyn? I clicked on it and read the comments and it doesn't say. Thanks.
1
In English it's pronounced loo-el-in. That's how I pronounce it. The Welsh LL sound is quite a chore to do all the time, and since I don't live in Wales I don't think it matters to just pronounce it like an L.
