Evan
Evan -- a Welsh version of John -- has a mellow nice-guy image that's propelled it into the Top 50, while it has been popular in Wales since the nineteenth century. And interestingly--and surprisingly--enough, Evan is now Number 24 for boys in France.
Jenny McCarthy has a son named Evan, and some other modern associations are Senator Evan Bayh, novelist Evan Hunter, and the movie Evan Almighty. It is also sometimes used for girls, as in actress Evan Rachel Wood..
