My all time top 3 worst names ive come across at a major high school.
La-------a =Pronounced Ladasha.
ABCDE=Abserdee
Dragon slayer=yes asian kid with birth certificate to prove his parents named him this.
I'm sure you all saw references to the fact that with the de-listing of John Butcher from Port Adelaide that there are now no players named John left in the AFL. This sad fact is indicative of the way names are going, a rock solid and once very common name like John is now barely used
I'd put a lot of that down to parents picking names slightly less common, and also the decreasing influence of Christianity in Australia (I presume the name's former popularity stems from one of the several Johns present in the Old and New Testaments).

I agree with your first point but I don't think John is perceived to be an overly religious name. I suspect it is simply considered too common, which is ironic considering how rare it is now.
