At first glance, they’re quite similar to the top names in [name]England[/name], it seems. Interesting that [name]Amelia[/name] and [name]Mia[/name] were equally popular, considering their similarity. For some reason, [name]Alexis[/name] and [name]Chelsea[/name] really stick out to me. [name]Don[/name]’t know why, but I never would have imagined they’d be popular over there. [name]Ivy[/name] and [name]Milla[/name] are quite unexpected to me too, but in a good way!

[name]Jasmine[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] are surprising, but the rest seem pretty on par with common names 'round these parts (USA). Thank you for sharing!
