Are you sure Aiman wasn't a girl? It is listed as being a Kazakh feminine name.
That's a nice list. Charis seems really unexpected. I like Albert. I would not have ever thought I'd say that, say 20 years ago, but I do.
I jotted down a list from a school my daughter attends while waiting to pick her up - kids about the same ages. It included:
Henry
Zoe
Gwen
Cormac
Evangeline
Miles
Fiona
Otis
Noelle
Sylas
Lucia
Kasra (not sure of sex) http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/kasra
Charles
Charlie
Erik
Kaiden
Catherine
Anjani
Natalie
Alexis
Natasa

What part did Daniel play?
I love nativity plays.
As a child, I once played a shepherd, and once a singing Wise Man, ("We Three Kings".

I can't prove this, not being a Brit, but I've been told that there is or was a very memorable Alfie character in a TV soapie called Eastenders. And apparently that kick-started the passion.
Which is mildly odd, seeing that the Beatles gave Michelle and Lucy a helping hand up the charts; and at around the same time there was a big booming ballad by a very dramatic singer, from or based on a film I think (WHAT'S it ALL about, WHEN you've thought it OUT, Alfeee - ARE we MEANT to take MORE than we GIVE, etc), which made zilch impact. And now, decades later, it's gone viral. Weird.
