British vs. American, Part 2 (2019)

Last time we saw which names were the "most British"; now it's time for the "most American". 

First up: the most common American names that don't appear at all on the full UK lists (meaning they were given to at most 2 babies in England & Wales):

2. Ximena
3. Londyn
4. Brynlee
5. Journee

Really, Londyn isn't used in the UK? I'm shocked. :p

On to the "most American" names that were used in the UK last year.

Girls:

1. Kinsley
2. Emersyn
3. Emery
4. Finley
5. Sawyer
6. Allison
7. Journey
8. Genesis
9. Jordyn
10. Nayeli
11. Gracelyn
12. Haley
13. Braelynn
14. Ainsley
15. Camila
16. Emerson
17. Alondra

1. Waylon
2. Paxton
3. Nash
4. Jesus
5. Landon
6. Easton
7. Emiliano
8. Weston
9. Rhett
10. Legend
11. Graham
12. Princeton
13. Messiah
14. Tucker
15. Bryce
16. Brooks
17. Jamison
18. Angel
19. Esteban
20. Everett

"Cowboy" names, unisex surnames, and Spanish names.  Yep, that sounds about right. I am a bit surprised by Allison, as it's a bit out-of-date in the US right now, but a quick search shows that (when it's used) Alison is the more common spelling in the UK. Interesting. 

Time for some mathematical witchcraft, I'm afraid.  The US Top 1000 accounts for about 2/3 of girls' names and 3/4 of boys' names, so for the next part I'm limiting the UK data by the same amount, due to the population size difference.   

So, if the previous lists were a bit too "out there" for you, here are the most American names from the UK Girls' Top 600 and Boys' Top 675.

Girls:

1. Zoey
2. Avery
3. Brooklyn
4. Addison
5. Samantha
6. Stella
7. Natalie
8. Jade
9. Lillian
10. Charlie
11. Madeline
12. Katherine
13. Riley
14. Audrey
15. Taylor
16. Bailey
17. Everleigh
18. Brianna
19. Morgan
20. Everly

Boys:

1. Maverick
2. Ian
3. Nolan
4. Silas
5. Brayden
6. Emmett
7. Wyatt
8. Mateo
9. Julian
10. Jayce
11. King
12. Santiago
13. Calvin
14. Ryder
15. Justin
16. Miguel
17. Dean
18. Jeremiah
19. Declan
20. Greyson

I'm surprised by quite a few of these, especially Stella, Lillian, Katherine, Audrey, Ian, Julian, as they don't strike me as overly American (I say, as an American).  I suspect it's again a difference in timing--names being popular in the US that are now outdated (or becoming outdated) in the UK. 

Also interesting--Charlie appears as a "most British" name on the US boys' list, but a "most American" name on the UK girls' list. 

And in case you're wondering, the "most American" girls' name, Zoey, is about 13x more common in the US than in the UK; while Maverick is about 14x more common. 

So far I've only looked at differences, but what about names we like equally? Here are the names given to about the same proportion of kids in both the US and the UK (excluding rarer names to avoid weirdness).
