I know lots of "Austins" but they are all American, similar to the Travis/Trevor comment. Anyone know a brit Chad?

All the young brit guys I know are named Max, Colin, Connor, Andy, etc.

He’s the only Nigel I’ve ever met IRL.

I also knew a guy named Juels (spelled that way, pronounced Jules).


There are a lot of Caribbean guys named Nigel

The name Nigel is most certainly NOT popular in the UK. It would be bizarre to name a baby this in the UK now. It is an old-fashioned name that fell out of favour some time ago, like Ethel in the US.
