Do you know a Randy?

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?

Used to work in US, met a Randy and a Biff. Was absolutely astounded that they were actual names, not nicknames. Also met a Dick who introduced me to his wife Fanny Grin

I know an English Hunter, probably in his 60s now. No idea why but I always thought he'd changed his name to Hunter.

I also know a Patty but she's Canadian and probably in her 60s or 70s.
