This is interesting, thanks.
Theodore, Felix, and Tobias ... are that well-liked? To me, they sound so castrated. I don't know why I haven't picked up on whatever makes them appealing. It's funny, how different my ideas about some names are from so many other people's.
I don't have that much trouble with the girls' names here, though. Many of the most frequent ones could be on my own top ten.

FYI
:) I do this at the end of the year. All the months individually, and then the year combined (and then I combine it with all the previous years for a "All Time" result, but I usually don't post that. I did do some posts of "Names that have only appeared once in four years" though). Not that I mind if you're posting it for this month, I'm just saying that this is going to get done. If you're interested, here's the link to last year's results!

(I don't combine spellings though, which changes the results.)
