Do you know a Randy?

[Derlei]

I was thinking about names that are common in the US but that you would rarely find over here in the UK. I can't imagine meeting a Randy.

Similarly:
Hunter
Patty
Lincoln
Booker
Gunner

I went to the States a few years ago and was surprised at how many men under the age of 30 were called Trevor.

Has anybody come across any babies that have names more common in the US?

I love Randy, short for Randall, but didn’t use it for obvious reasons!

Dd goes to school with a boy called Lynconn (Lincoln). His parents are American and are called Brett and Dolly 👀

I know a couple of child Hunters and a child Parker. Yorkshire.

I know a Randy, short for Randolph.

I used to. I think he'll be about 60 now. He was/is English.

I know a Lincoln.

Hunter has become popular over the last few years. My niece is due to have a baby boy soon and is going to call him Hunter.

Just reread your list and a colleague has a DS called Lincoln. I think it's becoming more popular.

I know an American guy called Randy and a little Irish boy called Hunter.
The worst name is Gobnet. This is an actual name given to baby girls in Ireland in the past. I met a woman called Gobnet once, she was my age. (51)

I know 2 Hunters

Zac/Zak seems American to me and I know 3 of them

I once read (in an American mag) of a Randy Ponce.

We had American neighbours with a daughter called Brandy.

I know a Randy. It's a shame I can't put his surname on here as it's too outing but let's just say it wouldn't be a common name unless you're in the porn industry!
My cousin called his son Hunter and then changed it not long after!

Chase

Yes my neighbours son is called Randy, he's about 10.

There's a boy in my DDs class named Randy. He's in year 3.

I know a 12 year old Hunter. I don't think it's that unusual in the UK.

I was having this exact conversation with my eldest date yesterday
We came up with
Herb
Randy
Travis
Chad
Chuck
Mindy

I haven't met anyone with any of those names! I know a lot of female Pats though. Just no Patty.

I lived in the states. Met loads of men named Chase, which I found odd because it's also the name of one of the largest banks there. Almost like being named TSB

Yes, he's 18 and ginger. His dad loves all thing American.

I knew a Randy at uni. He was American (and lovely).

Randy Doubtit.... lol think he's someome who made judge judy..

My 15 yr old DGS has the middle name Chase . No idea where his parents got it from . His Christian name is more odd though .

Not personally but I once read about an American pilot called Randy Starbuck. An unimaginable name in the UK.

Currently got both a Hunter and a Lincoln in the same year group.

Yes, I used to know a Randy but he wasn't English
