    Btw, you yourself are from Australia, so... why are you so upset or surrprized (depending on final position).
    No it doesn't. If they're first names you're only going to hear in America (like most of your examples), they're basically American names.

    These are just made up:
    Fanta, Tesla*, Halo, Pharaoh, Shooter
    Your question ought to be: why are there so many retarded fake names in English-speaking countries?

    There is no other common descriprion of the speech for all countries than english.
    For Isles more often people used just british as a people and location.
    Sorry, but it is like it is.

    Shortly: english. These are names used in english sphere. I do not think in which part, especially, if England-UK has such entities like Prince Harry and Princess Meghan or Prime Ministers like: Tony, Gordon, Winston, Ramsay or Neville. So, if you have some objections, do not adressed them to me, but to them.

    Btw, Australia had PMs named: Chris, Billy, Stanley, Earle, Ben, Gough, Tony and Scott.

    Canada: Mackenzie (born and named in ENGLAND!), R.B., Bedford, Lester and Kim.

    New Zealand: Harry, Gordon, Sidney, Norman, Keith, Bill, Mike, Jim, Jenny.

    So it is not only US problem.

    And nothing wrong with them to my mind. People / the media don't even call the current PM Scott, but ScoMo, which is funny.

    1. Chris - short insted of Christopher.
    2. Billy - diminutive insted of William.
    3. Stanley - toponymic,
    4. Earle - an aristicratic title
    5. Ben - meaningless, at best first syllabe of Benjamin
    6. Gough - surname
    7. Tony - diminutive insted of Anthony
    8. Scott - ethnic term

    Now look at the post nr 1, and think, what can a guy from Poland think about
    Australia differently than about US, when he had in mind all english speaking area.

    the media don't even call the current PM Scott, but ScoMo, which is funny.
    So it is even worse...

    They are mostly common names, many of the names in your opening post are very rare or just made up, so bad examples.

    If a name is common across English-speaking countries you could call it an Anglosphere name; Celtic names like Donald, Duncan, Ross, Brendan, Rory, Alistair etc are obviously not English, neither are stereotypical White American names/nicknames like Billy-Bob, Harland, Bud, Hank, Chip etc, neither are the ethnic/continental/non-white names that exist in large numbers. And most common names are English versions of common European names, so not particularly English either.

    btw Gough Whitlam's first name was Edward, but he went by Gough.

    Yes, and Polish is the only Slavic language with nasals, I think.

    I have the impression, that you are just now discusing for the sake
    of discussion or you can't understand, what is going on. I'm done.
