Uniquely Australian Names: Nate

October 30, 2013 ebony8 Comments

Nate is a nickname for Nathaniel (which I know two of though their both Nat’s) or Nathan (which is always to me the name of a hi 5 member) but outranks both. Nate like Indiana seems more popular in WA in terms of ranking at 39 with 69 births so their were more Nate’s born… Continue reading Uniquely Australian Names: Nate

Uniquely Australian names: Indiana

October 28, 2013 ebony2 Comments

Indiana sounds American right? You couldn’t be more wrong Indiana has NEVER ranked in their top 1000 and the only Ind name is India. Indiana is one of those names not expected to be an “Australian name”. It was given to just 61 girls and 21 boys in the UK giving it it’s uniquely Australian status.… Continue reading Uniquely Australian names: Indiana

Names Namenerds love but I don’t: Gemma

October 28, 2013 ebony6 Comments

On nameberry you always here people gush over the name Gemma but to me its a dated choice, I would make rather see the playschool style Jemima nn Jemma. In America Gemma is a lot less popular but in Australia its falling, currently out of the national top 100 and the NSW top 100 it… Continue reading Names Namenerds love but I don’t: Gemma

Name of the week: Matilda

October 24, 2013 ebony4 Comments

This weeks name comes from one of my favourite books and its also one of my personal favourites. Matilda is one of those names that despite being popular in New Zealand and the UK it seems uniquely Australian. To be fair it is more popular in Australia at 18 compared to 51 in New Zealand… Continue reading Name of the week: Matilda

Hamish is the scottish form of James but it is a name you see quite often here in Australia. It is the name of popular comedian Hamish Blake who’s part  of the comedic duo Hamish and Andy.

Names from the X Factor Australia

October 8, 2013 ebony4 Comments

I was watching the X Factor last night for the first time in ages (The last time I never missed an episode watched it was in 2011).  I realised that the host needed to learn how to open envelopes and learn to read faster. The contestants have quite normal names some are a bit unusual… Continue reading Names from the X Factor Australia

Name of the week: Archie

October 7, 2013 ebony2 Comments

Archie has been on my mind a lot lately its the kind of name just a year ago I absolutely hated now though I adore it mostly as a nickname for Archer but its so cute by itself. I’ve also started liking Alfie and I still hate Alfred. Archie outranks Archer though and the original… Continue reading Name of the week: Archie

Uniquely Australian names: Lara

October 6, 2013 ebony3 Comments

Lara is popular in Australia probably because of model Lara Bingle who also had a reality TV show Being Lara Bingle in 2012 which I have been informed is a bad show. Even if the show was bad it didn’t do anything to the name Lara which stayed at 72 in 2011 and 2012, in… Continue reading Uniquely Australian names: Lara
