Living in Australia (and working with children here for the past 16 years) while watching a lot of American TV, the first names that come to mind are Randy and Brandy. I’ve never known anyone IRL with these names but have heard them frequently on TV. Then I think of surname names like Sutton, Kendall, Collins and Madden which I also never hear in Australia. (We have Archer, Carter, Cooper, Spencer, Wilson, Hudson etc but not so many surnames that don’t end in either -er or -on. At least, that’s my experience.) Finally, Bailey for a girl; even at its peak, Bailey was much more popular for boys here.

So, to summarise:

Randy
Brandy
Sutton
Kendall
Collins
Madden
Bailey on a girl
