I noticed another person's thread about this garnered some interest, so I thought why not do it with people I went to high school with?
Names that can be English are included if they're fairly rare in English. I added siblings if I know them.

Also I'm not sure if these are still considered non-assimilated, but there were also people named Sean, Kevin, Aidan, Gavin, Trevor, Connor, and Liam. There were like five or six Kevins and none were Irish, and one of the Seans was Vietnamese.
