You must be too young to remember this famous Canadian celebrity Lorne Greene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Do Americans have as many Liams as we have in Canada? It seems that every elementary class has AT LEAST one Liam.

Reggie is associated somewhat with African-Americans. http://www.en.wikipedia.org/Reggie_Jackson

There's also Lorne Michaels, the Canadian behind Saturday Night Live.

Craig and Neil. The former seems to be pronounced 'creg' in Canada.

Craig sounds Australian to me, but it's probably more common in Canada, Australia and the UK than in America. Same with Ian or something like that.

Come to think of it, there was a character named Craig on Degrassi: The Next Generation.

Close, but not exactly. More like Creyg.

Craig sounds very Australian. I actually thought of a character from the original Degrassi called Craig, and there was Neil Hope as well.

This is easily a name that a Canadian could have, although an American could have this name too.

If it sounds typical of anywhere, it's England.

Of course, with so much immigration, there are lots of names that an American or a Canadian could have.
