Re: How often do you hear these names?
I noticed names that seemed to belong to black culture on the DC list, not so much ND. I'd be really interested in comparing Fargo's lists with the rest of ND. We're as close to a multicultural city as you get in ND, and we have a growing immigrant population We also have a growing Orthodox Jewish community (apparently Fargo had one before, about 100 years ago.) I might see if I can get a peek at the class lists of my nieces and nephews. Years ago I read that the midwest tends to follow popular naming trends, New England/Mid Alantic tends to stick to classic names, and nature-inspired names are more common in the mountain states. And Southern US follows its own rules.
