HelpUnique English names
Hi -- have you ever heard any names that is used/considered as an English name (even though some of them aren't from the English language), but it's uniquely or somewhat common in an English-speaking country but remains untouched in another?
For example, Bryony is somewhat recognizable in the UK but not in the US. Names ending in -lynn and -leigh are trendy in the US but not as popular in another English-speaking countries.
For me myself, I have found some:
- UK: Bryony and Fearne
- Ireland: Eavan, Keavy (?)
- US (white): -lynn, -lee, -leigh, US presidents' surnames (e.g. Kennedy or Cleveland)
- US (black) : LaToya, LaQuisha, LaShay, Shaniqua
- US (Native American): Winona, Sequoia (?)
- Caribbean Islands: Dieufely, Islande, Medjine, Mirlande, Wideline (maybe they all are French?)
- Australia: Araluen, Kirrily
- New Zealand: Ngaire or Nyree
What do you think of them?
