[Opinions] So clearly nobody is named Harlow, Chandler, Jenny, etc. anywhere else?

Generally I'm not a superduper nationalistic person, but I'm sorry, this really gets to me. You are making the typical generalizations of Americans that just drive me insane. We don't all name our children names of that sort. My favorite combos are Viktor Constantine and Iris Philomena. Can you see anything genuinely wrong with those?

Edited for a typo.
