Caitlin in various spellings (sorry, as a purist it still bugs me), Emily and Jessica for girls.

Am happy say the names I assigned to my never-to-be-born are not common. I know only one Ruby, no Dorothys, no Felix, Oscars or Theodores and no Rose/ Rosemary/ Rosalynns.

There is an Emilia known as Mimi though - which I think is delightful.
Two Theodores in Hector's class, one Felix, one Rosalyn! And a Ruby in Thor's. Several other Rubys in other places. No Dorothys, three Oscars back in UK. Rose is more popular among the moms.
