    Alwyn (Welsh one, not that common though)
    Carol/Karol (JPII)
    Eddie? I *think* there are women called that.
    Gareth (Pierce, famous lawyer)
    Lex/Lexie (common enough for women, Superman’s foe springs to mind for men)
    Oliver/Olive/Olivia - is that stretching it?
    Of course, we should really include Sue, if only in tribute to the man in black (that’s right, Sue Cash).
