The Don-Dawn homophone could be a result of a "cot-caught merge", in which case, it would be difficult to hone in on a region of the US from just that info.

The finest Polish footballer at the moment is Robert Lewandowski. And about the previous episode about percival: in my favorite book series, "The Witcher" there is a character Percival Schuttenbach. And there is a folk matal band named after that character that worked on The Witcher 3 soundtrack.

I'm living proof of how popular Robert is stateside. I'm one of three Roberts at my work and two Roberts in my circle of friends. When I am hanging out with my friends, we have a rule to distinguish which Robert is being talked about: if they mean me, they say "Rooooobert".

"I might put an advert in right now" *laughs in KZread Red*

Don is pronounced "Dawn" in eastern New England, and Dawn is pronounced "Don" in Wisconsin and neighboring states. So they are often homophones, but in different ways. My Wisconsin wife lets the kids watch "Pa Patrol". A kid at a Culver's drive-thru got confused when an out-of-stater ordered (cole) slaw. After a co-worker cleared it up, the boy said, "Oh, you men 'slaah'!"

Rupert is Stewie Griffin's teddy bear

Slavic & Germanic dithematic 2 part names like Hrodbert or it’s Slavic equivalent Yaroslav, or the more famous Vladimir meaning rule of peace or peaceful ruler were usually aspirational so they were based on the hopes of the parent for example parents might name their son Wilhelm meaning roughly he who will protect as a helmet does because they want him to be able to protect that which he loves when he grows up if the parents are proto Germanic speakers and they might name their son Višeslav or Vyacheslav meaning more glory Slav & Bert are both glory and fame if they want him to have maybe more glory than his father or something similar

So what are the most popular/least popular British names?

Me...reads title: "...as Iron Man?"

If Rupert becomes more popular in Britain, it might skyrocket in the US too in the following ten years or so. Americans have really loved quintessentially "British" names for a while. When I was a kid, if someone said "Emma" or "Oliver" I would have assumed they were talking about someone from England, but now those are two of the most popular baby names in the US. Speaking of childhood impressions of names though, Rupert was definitely another quintessentially British-sounding one but it also always just sounded... funny. It was one of those names that inspired giggling. Maybe that's just me. But so was Bob, a nickname for Robert. I've met a lot of Roberts, so it's a normal name to me, but there was something inherently funny about "Bob."

hey don't know if this is gonna get seen but Aespa is pronounced as es-pa

I'm hearing a bit more reverberation than prior videos Speaking of older names, I am really in love with Celtic names, to me, they have this feeling of the ancient eras, and the way some of them are pronounced doesn't quite line up with how the modern English spelling for them is. Also, while some of them have proven to be popular in more modern eras, like Arthur and Bridget, most seem to be ignored or seemingly forgotten. And some have pronunciations that have unfortunate implications in modern English. A Celtic boy's name I really like, but I don't quite know the popularity of, is Faolin (pronounced Foo-Lin), the way it's spelled makes you want to add the ow sound after the F and its proper pronunciation makes it found like a slang term for fooling, but the name itself means Wolf, and names that reference animals have this sense of majesty to them, in my opinion anyway. I mentioned Arthur is a Celtic name, and Patrick has probably already covered the name Arthur in a prior video (I haven't seen it if that is the case), and the name itself means Bear. And in England, the name Arthur has a lot of majesty and prestige because of how important the legends of King Arthur are to the British Islands. Also, to me, Celtic names have this wonderful feeling when you have them leave your throat and mouth, almost like the words themselves want to be heard.

I think Robert is a fine name, which is a shame because in France (Where I am from and live) it's seen as kind of an old person's name, it's not really trendy like it is in England and the U.S.

I feel like you were trying to make Don sound more like Dawn but it’s really the opposite, I would say Dawn more like Don. Also I just spent a good five minutes saying Don and Dawn out loud trying to decide if I have an accent where they’re homophones (I feel like I can hear the difference but I might be biased and can definitely say they’re pretty similar).
