Canadian Names (English Language Names)

[AnewKINDofFEELIN 0]

I would have to agree with the statement that if you exclude quebec, all the names are probably equally as common in both countries. Quebec has all the crazy french names

I bet you can find most of those crazy french names down here, as well. I need Miss Stacey for backup.

sorry but thinking someone is Canadian because of their fist name is retarded...

Very true.

I like it when people from Quebec come in to my work...for the first time ever I watch Quebec people attempt to talk to me in English and not give me a hard time about it.

I'm totally fluent in French too, but I don't let them know that.

I think of all the names mentioned, Gordon and Grant are the only ones I see more in Canada. All the other names seem to be quite plentiful in the south.

I qualified the names I listed as ... those I hadn't heard here...that's all.

And we don't approve, or like the word "retarded" in this forum.

Thank you Carla. I found Earmuff's comment offensive also.

Wow... offensive much?

I agree the only names that might be more either Canadian or French are of course the weird French names. Then again you might be able to find a lot of those in Louisiana though too. Of all the other names, I've still known more here then up in Canada, including Grants and Gordons and Andreas stc.

I do think it's probably the partial french last names that might be the ones that people could guess might be either Candian or French. Or if they have an Eskimo last name (whatever they're called now) since those also tend to be unique...

Inuit..or perhaps Dene depending on where they're from.

And why would our names be more crazy ? Just cause you can't say it doesn't mean it's crazy

Funny, the comment itself would be best described as the same adjective Earmuffs used to describe this thread. You don't need to agree with what this thread is talking about. Or don't read it if you think it's stupid. I'm sure you wouldn't want people to look at your picture and say, "This thread about showing your picture is dumba$$/stupid/silly." Though one might not think it's the smartest thing to do, to be posting your picture in an online forum, still it's your choice to have faith in the readers and your naivete that you will not be stalked.

That's all I'm sayin, know what I'm sayin?

Btw, I started this thread in good humor. It's just something I notice in my daily life living where I do and the people I meet, so it's by no way the "norm!"

But thanks for your replies! It has been fun reading!
