Why do some names' usages not reflect their actual usage?
I'm probably going to regret this later, but I have a question - Why do some names' usages not show their actual use? For example, the names Scholastique (which is most common in French Africa) and Teresita (which is most common in the Philippines and Latin America), why don't their usages say French (African) and Filipino, Spanish (Latin American), respectively? It's silly to me that Kidlat and Bituin have Filipino usage (they should) but not Maria or Teresita, which are FAR more common in the Philippines.
