True.
I agree with this, my first name is Frederic.

Bruce is almost exclusively an asian name in my country, which is a pity because Bruce is an awesome name for a scotsboo.
>>
>>62088601
Italy is true
The German names are way too old and most people with these names are old fucks
>>
>>62092098
>Bruce is almost exclusively an asian name in my country
How the fuck did that happen? Although, the only guy I've with that name is Robert the Bruce, and whilst he's Scottish, it's of French origin.
>>
>>62088601
Except for Hernando, those names are very common here.
Ive ever only met two guys named Jesus. It's a quite uncommon name here.
Something i found interesting is that quite some people are named lenin/stalin/fidel. I dont knw if it's some sort of interest towards those historical figures
>>
>>62088601
Mehmet is pretty common with the older generation, but not very common with the newer generation.
>>
>>62092285
If you're an Asian emigre working in Australia, the tendency is to adopt an anglo given name. Because they don't have the sectarian or cultural hangups associated with the names they have a greater choice than us native borns do. A lot of the time they'll choose a homophone/close homophone e.g. Yu->Hugh or a translation of their original given name e.g. Peony, Grace, that kind of shit. But if that's not available they'll choose something that sounds baller to them.
After Monty Python Bruce became a bit too stereotypical and fell on the backburner, so the only people who use it don't have the same hangup.
>>
>>62088601
>Hernando
Not much.
>Alejandro
Quite common.
>Juan
VERY common.
>Francisco
Noticeably common, it's my brother's mom-side grandfather's name.

Common.

Haven't hear about many Esteban.
>Jorge
Like a plague.
>Luis
Nigga, I IS CALLED LUIS. And so was my dad-side granfather.

England here

Both of the names are uncommon, but can still be found, they're quiet old fashioned. However with that said, my father is called Ian.
>>
>>62088601
russian names are pretty common but not most popular
>>
>>62092605
Silly me, I forgot that Asians like to pick Western names when they immigrate here.

>they'll choose something that sounds baller to them
If I ever go to China, I need something that sounds baller in Chinese. Got any pointers?
>>
>>62088601
>Poland: Names with cz as part of them
Not really. The only ones that come to mind are Czesław or Mieczysław, but neither of them is popular.
Just off the top of my head, the most popular are probably something like Jan, Mateusz, Paweł, Michał, Krzysztof.
Or for women Ania, Aleksandra, Katarzyna, Karolina, Julia.

"Jan Kowalski" is our version of John Doe, if that's what you're looking for.
>>
>>62088601
One of the Spain ones is my name.
Hernando isn't common, Santiago and Francisco are the popular baby names at the moment, Juan Pablo (combination) is also popular.
>>
>>62088601
Benjamin and Felipe are more common names around here desu. Sofia and Javiera for the ladies.

MFW my mom's family side its been 3 fucking generations named Enrique _____ , till my father broke the rule stating that having two names its pointless and Enrique sounds awful.
>>
>>62093108
>Javiera
Poor girls
Maria Something (ex. Maria Fernada, Maria Jose) and Ana Something are quite popular over here. Sofia, Diana, Andrea as well.
>>
>>62093314
What's wrong with Javiera? Is a qt name. I know a Javiera who's a 8/10 and adorable.
>>
>>62093392
It just sounds a bit weird to me. Never met a Javiera in Mexico.
It's like Felipa, Santiaga and Diega, they feel weird to me.
>>
>>62093199
In high school, I had a Spanish class where the teacher gave us "Spanish names" out of a book. A kid named Henry had to be called Enrique all year. I'm Adam, but the book didn't have a translation for Adam, so I became Alano the entire fucking year.
>>
>>62093726
i was very surprised when I heard Javiera was only common in Chile

There's a bunch of them, but they're pretty rare nowadays.

No, may be it was like 100 year ago, but not now. Ivan is common name in Rissian folk tales. Most common in Russia are Sergei, Mihail, Alexei, Alexandr, Maksim, Andrei.
>>
>>62100460
Missed.

>>62088601
>Scotland: Last names that start with Mc/Mac
It's not exclusively Scottish it's Gaelic.

And overwhelmingly common in Scotland, Ireland and the millions of other places they emigrated to.
>>
>>62092098
That's funny. Every Bruce I know is an old white guy. Have met heaps of Asians called David.

>>62092285
Asians pick the weirdest Anglo names. Half the fob Chinese chicks I went to school with were named after flowers (Rose, Daisy, Petuina)
>>
>>62088601
My name is mohamed and my dad's name starts with Abdul so this very much applies to me.
>>
>>62088601

Could my dad's name be any more French?
>>
>>62088601
>England: Nigel, Ian
Ian is more common than Nigel in England but Ian is a Scottish name
>Scotland: Last names that start with MC/Mac
Very common, including mine. Most common surname in Scotland is Brown or something though.
