Don't know if you'll find this useful http://babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html

You type in a name and it tells you how popular the name has been over the past 100 years. Lots of fun!

Government statistics has the past 5 years info here. Click on the links in the top right for boys, girls and 2007 etc. It Gov compiled so should be pretty exact.

I managed to find a list of top 1000 names for 2007.
There's a list for boys and one for girls.
Think I found it on a name forum or something, but I just have it saved as a document now-it's on a spreadsheet format. don't know how to post it on here-don't think I can tbh, but I don't mind emiling you a copy-let me know if you do.
Once you get past top 100 tho the names become quite unsual anyway.

thanks girls

the boys name we have chosen is in position number 16000+ - that shouldnt be too common then!!
the girls name we like was in the 80's so i guess thats not too bad either

afaik the Government ones are from official records, so should be the most accurate.
