Yep.

I live and work in the middle of that area. They aren't all bad names or anything but there is a much higher incidence of names like Nevaeh, Lakeisha (on little blonde girls), Harleys etc. I recently met a baby Stevie-May, sister to Ashlee-Sue. I rarely encountered names like this living in the city. It makes it more interesting for a name nerd though!

In the US, you would be no more likely to meet a white Lakeisha than you would to meet a two-headed calf. Possible, but highly unlikely.
Ashley has been popular for a couple generations now, but Stevie has never really gained much ground, not even as a tomboy nickname for Stephanie. And double-barreled names haven't really been in fashion since around the forties and fifties, when Mary Ann, Jo Ellen, Betty Jean, and Linda Sue were in vogue.
