How many people with the top baby names of your country do you actually know?

I know about a thousand babies that have been born (okay, so maybe not that many) but I hardly know anyone with the popular names- what about your country?

I'm from England, and the top names are Oliver and Olivia. I know loads of girls named Olivia, and the name is very overused here.



But I hardly know any boys named Oliver. I'm always surprised to see how popular it is. I think I've met about two Olivers in my life, and neither of them were babies or young children. Oliver is one of my favourite names and I can imagine using it for a son, but I'm torn on the popularity issue - I don't want my child to have a top 10 name that he shares with three others in his class, but I do love the name and from my own perception it doesn't seem that popular.How many people with the top baby names of your country do you actually know?
I'm in NZ where the top names are Liam %26amp; Sophie. I know 2 Sophie's, though I know another little girl named Sophia who always goes by Sophie too. I know 1 Liam, and a William who always goes by Liam.
