oops! I forgot to put something.....
I prefer full names rather thatn nicknames. Especially in girls. No Zac for me. Instead, how about Zachary? I think I said that I like Zac because it's short for Zachary, which I do like.
That Montanna/Brianna/Hannah is the worst yet. I actually think that they were the names of three girls whoe were friends in a movie that came out a few years ago.

Jett Jarrad (Jarrad & Laurie; Chevy) - A Jett and a Chevy?! Someone needs to tell these people they are children, not modes of transportation! :b
Kynan Robert (Kerrin & Jodie; Caitlin, Emily) - Is Kynan a real name? They go from the terribly overused Caitlin & Emily to the I-just-threw-together-some-random-letters-to-make-a-trendy-name name like Kynan *scratches head*
Eydie Jazelle (Scott & Erica; Bella, Lulu) - I've never heard of Eydie before (sounds like I.D.??) but Bella and Lulu sound like pets' names to me :b

Yes, the nicknames-as-full-names thing is more common here than in the US, although not as common as it is in Britain.
Re Montana - TELL me about it! I find it absurd that otherwise perfectly sane Australian parents are naming their kids Montana, Indiana, Dakota etc. It's bizarre. And yes, the parents of Brianna, Hannah and Montanna should be slapped lol.
