Names that are common in the US but not the UK

[ffsfindmeausername]

Just that really, there seems to be certain names that seem very American that you don't tend to hear in the UK such as Chad.
I like the name Chad but no idea why it's not really used in the UK. Can anyone think of any other very "American" names that you don't tend to hear here in the UK or vice versa very British names rarely used in the US?

Craig pronounced 'creg'

Mateo and Thiago because the US has a large population of Spanish and Portuguese speakers. We’ve adopted lots of common US names like Hudson, Hunter and Beau but I don’t think Colton or Carson are as common here yet.

Weston and Waylon are in the top 75 in the US.

Yes and he was always David Michael never just Dave which is what us Brits would end up calling him 😂

The weirdest US naming thing to me is adding the second or the third after boys names.

Briana and Erica. I've never met anyone from the UK with these names but they seem popular in the States.

Bryan and Kevin for children
Only for the over-65s in UK

Forest. I met one IRL in the States. I've never met a native one in the UK.

Loads of boys called Harris or Harrison in my neck of the woods.

My work colleague has a DD called Briana.

Maddison
Sabrina
Taylor
Parker
Fletcher
Harrison

Bret

Nancy
Taneeka
Cole
Cody
Lauren

My first thought was Madison for a girl - reasonably common in the US.

Conversely the name Benedict is hardly ever used in the US due to negative connections with Benedict Arnold (traitor during the revolutionary war)

Jesse is in the bible- father of David.

Keith
Colin

Both seen as old fashioned in the Uk but very popular in the US.

Patty, Marcie, Marsha

I love Jesse but here in Scotland no one is calling their son that because of ‘ya big Jessie’.

Earl
Brad
Ira

Bree
Crystal
Missy

Todd
Scott
Brett

Madison
Avery

Todd - Sweet Valley High book character. I’ve never met a British one.

Chad yes but has recently became a joke name like Karen but it means a really handsome good looking man who gets all the girls so not necessarily a bad connotation haha.
Travis, Riley, boys names on a girl (billy Charlie etc)
Honestly I think American names are quite cool apart from giving a girl a typical boys name.

Chadwick
Grayson
Sheridan
Garwood
Chuck
John Boy
Janey
Sadie
Andra
Mamie

Benedict Cumberbatch’s (very British) mum is the actress Wanda Ventham. And of course The Scarlet Witch in the Marvelverse is Wanda so the name is getting more popular again.

Kendal always seems to turn up as the bitchy sorority girl type in fiction!

Same thing with me and Diadra, found out it’s their pronunciation of Deirdre.

Paige

Paige used to quite popular in the UK. We had one in our street in the 1990s. In 1996 there were 2052 Paiges born and the name was 28th most popular for girls. But by 2021 there were only 252 and the name was 202nd most popular.

Yes! I remember googling grem crackers and getting nothing, not knowing they were Graham crackers.
