Western Europe

As in Britain, parents in most countries now use names from foreign sources for their children as well as those more traditonal in their country. Biblical names are common and do not always take different forms from those used in Britain. These lists may, therefore, contain names that are not native to the country in which they are used although generally only those forms distinctive to a particular country are included.
