My eight year old son is named Richard and he goes by Ricky. We have yet to meet another Richard or any derivative in any school class or outside activity.
In 1st grade he had two Greyson's, and two Harrison's in the same class. He's had numerous friends named Blake, Chase and Chandler.
People try to be so original but, IMO it comes off as contrived. Most of the names I hear today probably come from their mom's favorite soap opera.

Some background:
My wife and I are caucasian, and I guess we'd be considered upper income here in TN.
Our children are named Will (William) and Katie (Katherine).
Look how WHITE they are!
Silly.

My eight year old son is named Richard and he goes by Ricky. We have yet to meet another Richard or any derivative in any school class or outside activity. My nephew is named Richard. And for fun, the first thing we do at my house on Sunday morning is turn to the birth announcements and find out what names parents have decided to hang on their unfortunate children. To me, the best present you can give a child after birth is a name he or she will not have to change upon attaining majority through utter embarrassment.
