ROFL, I don't think so . . .
It's extremely rare for Australian girls to be called Adelaide or Sydney - they're CITIES!
Alana - I know a few. It's not very common
Annika - briefly popular around 1990-1995
Ava - far less common than in America
Eliza - common in the 1990s
Imogen - common in the 1990s
Lola - not common at all, I've never met or heard of one
Matilda - rare but not unknown.
Archer - never heard it used as a first name at all
Blake - commonish in the 1980s
Caleb - popular in the 1990s
Callum - popular in the 1990s
Campbell - I've met one. Very rare
Finn - not common but it is used
Flynn - never met or heard of one
Jasper - never met or heard of one
Kane - rare
Luca - very rare, only on a few boys of Italian descent until the last few years.
The lesson here - DO NOT trust books or sites which say they know about Australian names unless they are PUBLISHED BY AN AUSTRALIAN!
