The UK is heavily influenced by pop culture from the States just as the influence went the other way possibly as recently as the early 20th century. During the 19th century there was massive correlation between the two with Mary, Anne and Elizabeth dominating for the girls and William, john and James for the boys. Back then the United Kingdom was the dominant power in the world much to the extent that the US is now so the social demographics dictated that culture followed the larger sibling. Books movies sport and music have done much to spread the word when it comes to given names for example how many girls named Kayleigh or Kaylee would you find before the 1980s?
