Most popular names where you live?

Question

Obviously I understand if you don't want to give out where you live, but the smallest indication would be helpful! I'm wondering how popular baby names vary around the world- where I live in South East England every child under the age of 4 seems to be called Mia, Zachary, Finley or Lily! How about you?

Well, as a teenager, I dont know many small children! The ones I do know are named Mia, Braxton, Peyton, Gwyneth, Georgina, Caitlin, Nevaeh (why) and yeah :)

In my year level (born '95-'96), the most common names are Ben, Mitch, Matt, Alex, Liam, Tom, Sam, Sarah, Brooke, Emily, Maddie. 
But mostly Ben (i know 8 that are my age) and Sarah (i know about 10 that are my age) so they are the most boring names to me.
