Exactly....I didnt even bother to copy/paste the names that I felt were ethnically driven...cause a lot of names that are "weird" and different from Anne and John are from another culture and that's okay. But that list was compiled from 3 years worth of babies being born...there were tons and tons of "normal" names.
