I'll apologize in advance to our Canadian members but I've assumed (since I don't feel like doing research) that male first names in Canada roughly parallel those in the US (note emphasis).
That said, how would one have what I'll call more common European-style mens' names? I'm thinking, for example, of names like Gustav or Emil: you won't find very many of those in North America apart from recent immigrants and first generation descendants. Let's stipulate that the distribution of immigrants to both nations is approximately what it was/is IOTL, by the way. So...how is this accomplished?
