Hi Liz—interesting observation. This was a hard list because so many of these names, too, have European roots (especially English and Irish). I like the variety being that the United States is quite the blend of cultures and people! The name popularity also varies state by state. We have a lot of West Coast names that are trending towards the obscure: Axle, Echo, etc.
Liz Westwood from UK on May 27, 2019:
I think there are a lot of cross overs with names also being used in the UK. So much tv now comes from America that the influence is very strong.

Kaylee—Kaylee is cute too, but Natasha is nice as well! Thanks for the read.
