    about 6 years ago when i worked in Childcare, we had a baby called Gage, he was a chubby little cutie.

    This is the first time i have ever heard of West as a given name, thanks, i have learnt something new for the day!

    I don't know any Wests, but I do know a South - so maybe you're going in a new direction?!?!?!
    I did meet one little Gage, back in 2003, he was about 3, but I reckon I meet 100+ chn/yr, so I figure that's not too common.
    I haven't met any Cruz's or Drakes.

    West is my pick.

    Cruz is used as a female name in Spanish-speaking countries, but I think it's going to get really popular for boys thanks to the celebrity associations.

    I love the names West and Gage but haven't heard of them often. Cruz and Drake I am not fond of but he is your boy!

    Pinkpalace from our october belly budies group named her son Ethan Cruz, but I don't know anyone else with any of the names!
    Good luck if your anything like us you'll be needing it after almost 9 months of debate we've narrowed the list to 3 names! It seems to be alot harder this time too many to chose from!!! lol

    I only know a Cruz who goes to school with my son.. He is nearly 9.. I vaguely remember someone else at his school with the name Gage but only because I heard the name get called out in the playground..

    One of Maddy's best friends at her daycare in Brisbane was Cruz (they'll be 3 in December), and aside from Drake, I've never heard the other two (West or Gage) used as children's names before. There is a gymnastics club in the US called Gage though...

    there is a Stephen King book with Gage as the main character - it's not a pretty book so has bad connotations for me!! i've heard of boys called Gabriel being shortened to Gabe or Gage

    haven't heard of the others (apart from the beckhams) for a while.

    Drake makes me think of Joey's character in friends when he was on days of our lives "dr drake ramorez" hehehe
