    Funny thing is Kevin is not technically an anglo-saxon name , yet, it is white trash in France. There are probably more Scottish and Irish people with the name Kevin than English people. Kevin comes from the Irish name : Caoimhín ([kiːvʲiːnʲ], Middle Irish: Caoimhghín [kəiṽʲʝiːnʲ], Old Irish: Cóemgein.

    Yes, you are right. As I said, I used the term "Anglo-Saxon" to refer to names that became popular through the influence of American pop culture. But also through the British one. So let's say the term was used by metonymy.

    And I know the Irish saint Kevin of Glendalough:

    I have very high class, old fashioned and strict name. It's not a Croatian name, I got it after my German grand-grandma.

    Cool! My name is also extremely rare and old fashion. The vast majority of people have never heard my name.

    Traditional names were seen as favourable and foreign names less so but now modern sounding names seem to be topping the lists. Some names I've heard sound cute for small babies but will sound a bit strange when they are grown adults XD I was going to choose a Latin name for my second son because it had sentimental meaning but my in laws said it sounded "too Italian" so we decided on a traditional albanian name instead when we registered his birth.

    Highest earning names among men are apparently Håkan and Mats, and for women Annika and Åsa.

    Ronny is just short for Ronald. Jimmy is just a nickname for James, never met anyone name just Jimmy or Ronny. I have met a women named Ronnie though.
    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.

    Also Connie is just short for Constance or a female form of Conrad, never seen it spelled with a y and and rarely is anyone named connie, usually named Constance.
