Good names popular in U.S. but not in Oz?

General Name Discussion
1

I wasn’t sure where to post this, 'cause it’s such a confusing request…but I hope somebody can help me out!!

What are some good names (as in, not MaCaiyla or [name]Jaydin[/name] or…you know, lol) that appear in the U.S. top 1000 but are not as common in Australia? You don’t have to like the name yourself, just please include it if it’s legit. I want to get a feel of what names are popular where! I’m an American who is planning on starting a family in [name]Oz[/name] (in a couple of years!!) with the Aussie bf, and I guess part of me still wants my kids to have some connection to their mommy’s homeland. I’ve been pouring over the NSW top 100 but it’s such a short list compared to the 1000 or more I’m used to…lol. Am I the only one that thinks you can’t tell anything from just 100 names?

Can anyone hook me up?!

[name]Just[/name] pop in top 100 names into google and list of them from around the world comes up.

have you tried checking the SSA baby name website? You can get the top 1000 names in the US for any year on there and contrast and compare against what is currently popular in Australia.

Well, I don’t have the time to go through the top 1000 baby names for the US. However, I’ve gone through the top 100 from NSW and the US for both boys and girls and have listed the names that are in the top 100 for the US but not for NSW. So here’s what I came up with! (I’ve taken out names that don’t fit your criteria, like [name]Ayden[/name]. And also hispanic names like [name]Miguel[/name] and [name]Jesus[/name])

Hello

I am an Aussie. Check out the South Australian birth deaths and marriage website and you can view every single baby name registered in South Australia in the past few years. I know its not New South [name]Wales[/name] but all baby names in Australia are pretty similar.

I’m in Australia and I am eliminating names that I think are on the verge of becoming more popular here (eg names like [name]Evelyn[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Parker[/name] and [name]Nathaniel[/name]). Starred names are names that I think would be considered a bit unfashionable here (sort of immediately dated, not old enough to be cool again).
