As a Malaysian, would you name your daughter Malaysia? Answer us honestly.
Well, many parents in the United States are apparently IN LOVE with our country’s name, choosing Malaysia as the name for their baby girls. In 2014, the name Malaysia ranked 399th in the list of the most popular female names. A total of 810 baby girls were named Malaysia in 2014.
Taking into consideration previous rankings (479th in 2013 and 570th in 2012), Malaysia is becoming an increasingly popular name. Malaya is also another popular name for girls. Other popular country names for Americans include Jordan, Israel, Georgia, Kenya, Chad, America, Holland and Ireland.
Maybe we should be proud…
