Between the boys playing baseball with my son last night (9 and 10 year olds) and the kids playing in the area around the field, names I heard that resonated:
Luca (boy) (I know a local girl named this as well)
Xander (Alexander)
Tad (Thaddeus)
Jack called Jacky by his dad (cuuuute! Out of context, Jackie is only a girl’s name to me, but in that context, it’s so sweet and affectionate for a boy!)
And I’m pretty sure I heard — but I’m having a hard time believing it — Uriah!
Sancta Nomina 
I know two Uriahs (both under the age of 10) so I don’t doubt it!

When I was in hospital after delivering Miss K, one of the many moms who roomed with me named her son Uriah.
I used to babysit a boy named Lucca. He is all grown up and in college now, so not so little any more!

I have a friend who named one of her boys Lucius (pronounced Looshus, and I just read it in the Bible today – didn’t know it was biblical!) and she calls him Luca. She also has a Solomon, who she calls Solly, and Thadeus, called Thad. 🙂

My son is John IV, we call him Jack (a tradition in the family) and my two year old calls him “Jacky”. That nickname is actually a tradition in the family too, my father in law is sometimes called “Jacky”. I love it!

love Solly! One of my very best friends Dad is named Rosario (big Italian Catholic Family!). His nickname is Soddy. Have never heard Solly before, though…so fun! I know a man whose last name is Sullivan and he’s called Sully…that’s a fun name, too!
