like town names are very unique; you probably couldn’t find the same 2 towns next to each other very often
but mark steve chris hannah claire laura etc are all very common across the anglosphere

I live within 45 minutes of two towns named Troy and two towns named O’Fallon. There are probably more with same names but off the top of my head there are 2 pairs I could think of in 5 seconds of thought.
Names aren’t that unique, we refuse them a lot because we lean towards what is familiar
MO/IL? That sounds St. Louis adjacent lol
Yep St Louis
That’s an American perspective, aside from a few exceptions (variations of forum, fort, etc.), it’s not as common in Europe
It’s extremely common in Germany. Take Münster for example, there are at least 9 cities and towns with that name. Others include Berlin, Hagen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Freiburg, and so on. It’s such an issue when trying to trace down ancestry as many records only include the city or town and not the state / region.
Are you sure? It’s quite common with town names. Hell, there is 105 Switzerlands in Germany!
I was gonna post this about Britain https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/features/10905575/Britains-doppelganger-place-names.html but then I remembered that they’re not in Europe any more
Still Europe but not Eu.
Nope, not even Europe. They literally cut them off and they’re an island now!
How are they not part of Europe?
It’s a joke, buddy. They’re an island, they did Brexit, I made a joke about it, the joke made a whooshing sound as it went right over your head.

And yet you’re the one slinging slurs.
Well the OP didn’t say he didn’t want American perspective and America is part of the Anglosphere since we speak English and are a former British colony
