Reason: one more name...
There are parts of the country that have many immigrants or ethnic groups from eastern Europe. Example: we had, like, zero african american kids in my schools when I was growing up, but we had many asian kids and some russian/romanian/ukrainian kids.
I was a camp counselor while in college and the following names still make me shudder (I only had girl campers, so no bad boy names):
Shaina
Olga
Jennifer
Natalie
Megan
I did have two campers that were awesome and totally changed my opinion of their names- Mariam and Sari. I thought they were both rather old-fashioned sounding, but the kids were so great that to this day I still like the names!
