Nardwyn

---

Nardwyn is an aboriginal name (either Nth WA or NT not sure), I have a friend with this name (she's not Aboriginal but was born in an outback community and one of the women their said this 'must' be her name).
Kirralee
Shayla
Taylah - this seems to be so big here.
Jae
Kayla - again probably not Aussie origin but big over here.

I don't like any of these name though, I think they're actually pretty ugly (with the exception of Taylah which is a GP)

They basically use the same names people in America and England use. I see no difference.

Belinda always struck me as a particularly Australian name. I'm not sure why though :-D

I think of Talia or Tahlia as characteristically Australian, although I know that's not the only place it's used.

---

Levi and Tahlia sound lovely together, anyway.

Kirrily and Peta are two other girls' names which seem to have been much more used in Australia than elsewhere.

---

Melba seems to have originated with the Australian opera singer Nellie Melba, which makes it something like Narelle in origin, but I don't know if Melba was actually ever regularly used as a girl's name in Australia like it was in the USA.

Names either invented in Australia last century or favoured there include:
Lorrae
Lurline
Narelle
Noeline
Raelene
Valda
(Narelle might have aboriginal roots, which is perhaps what you want)
