    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

    I often read the birth notices here in the Ballarat newspaper and i can't say i have often seen these names

    Cruz as a middle name maybe a few times but not the other names that i can remember of

    I tend to notice the common fade names standing out but these names you mention i can't say they have been common in this part of the world !!

    I LOVE GAGE !!!!!!!!

    Briggsy I know of the book your talking about and it doesnt really phase me as not alot of people would think of that association unless theyve read the book

    There was a Gage at DS daycare.
    I havent heard of anyone called West (but lots of guys nicknames Westy) but I have heard of a boy named North.
