Difference in Names between Youngstown, Ohio and Leeds, UK

[ghostpassenger.livejournal.com]

I saw one of the Birth Announcement updates and said to myself...I can't believe I haven't brought this up yet. Where I am from (Youngstown, Ohio, US) names feel...pretty uninspired. I am living in Leeds, UK where the names seem creative/different/unique. 

I decided to put them up for you to compare...or gawk at for potential names for your own purposes.

(One thing I noticed is that there were many, many, many more girls than boys born in this month long time period. Seriously, I got tired of looking for boys to fill this out and make it a little even. Also Apparently in Youngstown we hate sharing middle names.)

I moved from Ohio to Colorado and haven't noticed a huge difference. I don't think I met an Aiden/Caden/Jaden in OH but have met a lot here though.
