Re: Impact of popular culture on name use
Similarly, if you look at the popularity rankings in England and Wales, many names are either new characters in popular soaps like Eastenders (e.g. Demi, Ruby, Alfie) or they are the name of football (soccar) players (e.g. Freddie).Also, my lecturers threatened to fail us on our dissertation if we use Wikipedia as a source ;) .
