Hey,

My friend has recently started training as a teacher and - knowing my obsession with names - kindly passed over her class register :)

So, these are all kids aged between 14 and 19. What do you think? And also, what do you make of naming trends in the UK as opposed to elsewhere?

I live in the UK, and that list looks very standard to me...except in that she obviously teaches in a very predominately-white school judging by the names.

I like a lot of them.

I must say, Gangandeep is quite interesting...

I haven't seen photos, but I'm assuming that is an Indian name, or Asian certainly. Names ending in -deep seem relatively in the Asian community, from what I can tell.

I was thinking it was either Indian or Asian. Not a name you'd hear everyday here, lol.
