Why is the name Nigel common in Britain but virtually unheard of in America?

it's a terrible name.
Is Stacy in the bible or has a Hebrew meaning?

I think it's because of Lorne Michaels SNL

Why would you name your kid after a tv producer?

IDK but a lot of my Jewish friends' parents like Lorne Michaels. There's rumors he grew up in a kibbutz but I think he's actually from Canada.

I've only ever met 3 Nigels- one black and one white (both teens by now) and my dog, who was a rehome and we didn't change his name.

“Stacy”? I’ve never heard of it. I’ve met some Staceys but they’re all women over fifty and none are Jewish.

And lol about a make like Stacey being in the Bible. Yeah, right there along with Leah, Esther and Neveah lol.

Yes he’s Canadian. Might have spent some time on a kibbutz, that wouldn’t be so unusual.

It’s such a cringe name. And then most non Jews think it’s Lauren anyway, which is a woman’s name, because why would a person be named “Lorne”?!

Graham also.

Graham has become much more popular now though. My DD had three in her grade of 40 boys and we knew another 2 besides those.

Yes, same with Liam, Theodore (Teddy), Emma, Charlotte and the other pretentious British names. It’s the current trend.

The great thing about the name Nigel is that it is universally nearly always shortened to Nige’

Your career would be over if you got sloppy about annunciating the “l” at the end.

Where do you live? Stacey is a common Jewish woman’s name. That and Randy/Randi. I don’t understand it

All the Gordon’s I know are Canadian, oddly.
