I thought my child's name was not that common until I went to Berkeley California. In one toy store they're were 4 kids (under 5) with their parents. 4 out of 5 were named Max. So much for uncommon.... in Berkeley. (2008)

Jessica Simpson named her daughter Maxwell Drew. I think that is a fine name for a boy, but for a girl? YUCK
