I presume your thinking of Asian origin?? Didn't sound like they were.

Yes... and why?
Many Asian parents choose Anglo names for their babies.
Then again, I'm probably misunderstanding you. ;-) But I hope these parents are Asian, otherwise it's one step closer to my (paranoid?) fear of the "OMG itz IRYSH!!1!" trend being transferred to "OMG itz JAPANEES!1!!*"...
*Japanese, of course, would be the only Asian language known to tryndees if this horrific trend does indeed come to pass. And that would only because of anime/manga/etc. making Japan "kewl".

I started fearing this potential trend when I saw Amaya skyrocket in popularity.
But, like I said before, I think this fear of mine is a bit paranoid. Still... *Shivers and arms self against potential name trynd*

Well, to be fair, Amaya is a lovely name. But yes, that would be a bad trend (not that I have anything against Asian names. I don't have anything against Irish naems either, but the trend still annoys me).
