I love Blue, Osmond, Ciaran, Tiger.
I really like Grier, Kiaran (not as good as Ciaran spelling), Monday, Topher, Tolly.
I like Flick, Kaolin, Josey, Kenrick, Lyall, Merit, Raymund, Read, Stace, Sparrow, Steph, Wolfe, and Zeph.

Darn, that's hard for boys names. Whenever I think a name is rare, it was actually popular several decades ago!

This led to some surprising discoveries; like Eren and Evander just recently joining the top 1000. Orion has been steadily climbing since the 90s. And Royce has had a consistent rise and fall since the 1800s (currently on the rise).
