[Opinions] Re: Fourth lowest names in the England and Wales top 1000
Andy and Chris are interesting! I wonder where Andrew and Christopher rated. Most of the others are clearly not used by English-speaking families, so it's hard to say much about them. Arian will spend his life explaining that, no, he isn't Adrian. Khari will soon get tired of jokes about spicy stew. Ovie doesn't please me at all. Pretty much the same applies to the girl names: there must be plenty of little Victorias but just one Wiktoria. Princess and Posie set my teeth on edge. People will probably think that little Olympia is two years younger than she is! Ivy-Grace ... I see that they tried to combine two popular names into a unique combo, but it doesn't sound good to me. Better than Isha, though: sounds like a sneeze. What's the betting that Chimamanda drops the Chim?

I never thought of that with Olympia, though that makes sense! Christopher ranks 191st, used 271 times, and Andrew is a little lower at 301st, used 150 times.
