Hi all
In my research on names for #2 I find myself looking at lots of names that were popular or common during my childhood and just aren't used very often any more. I was wondering if there is a 'good one' in amongst them all.

Some I have come across (but none take my fancy or go with my surname) are
Amanda
Rebecca
Tony
Sharon
Jody
Jason
Craig
Katrina

Any others that you can think of? School friends? Your name?
cheers
