Thanks for sharing! Many of these are familiar as a [name_u]Brit[/name_u], I guess our two nations have similar taste!

I love: [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Oscar[/name_m], [name_u]Finn[/name_u], [name_m]Isaac[/name_m], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Flynn[/name_u], [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_m]Jasper[/name_m], [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_u]Jesse[/name_u].

I’m surprised to see: [name_m]Archer[/name_m], [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Xavier[/name_m], [name_u]Jordan[/name_u], Beauden, [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m], [name_m]Angus[/name_m], [name_m]Nixon[/name_m] and [name_m]Cohen[/name_m] ranking so highly. It doesn’t take many births to rank in the NZ top 100 though!

I’m pretty sure Beauden is after All [name_m]Black[/name_m] Beauden [name_u]Barrett[/name_u]. We are a big rugby nation lol.
