This website will tell you the most popular names in 2007.

Answer 26

Sarah, Jack, Seán.

Just because they're popular doesn't make them bad names :)

Haylee (or Hayleigh, Haley, Halee, etc.)

Emily (it's a pretty name, but there are way too many girls named Emily)

Brianna

Jaden (or Jayden, Brayden, Cayden, Hayden, etc.) I'm not a big fan of "ayden" names.

Answer 29

Michael

its a great name but it has been in the top 10 most popular names for over 70years and its been in the top 4 for the past 50years, you cant get much more overused than that.

for girls Sarah and Elizabeth have always been popular names

edit: people are mistaking Caden, Hayden, Jaden as the new very overused names, but if you check the stats they are way at the bottom and very much the opposite of overused.

Answer 30

Chelsea

Katie

Cloe

Sam

Callum

Jack

EDIT

How can someone thumbs down my answer.

I work with kids so I do know.  Don't forget not everyone comes from the same country or state as you and popularity varies!  Unless the asker requests a specific area, then how do you know the person isn't right?!

My answer is based on all the kids names from 3 different primary schools and I have named the ones of which there are 4 or more!

Answer 31

Boys: Michael, Jake/Jacob, Aidan

Girls: Emily,Emma, Ava
