No big deal.

In BB Australia our NTs are often half filled with immigrant names from Vietnam, Italy and the Arab countries, sprinkled with some Russians and other ethnicities who live in our wonderful country.

All it is doing is reflecting the multicultural state that our country represents!

Ok that makes sense because if Drdhayudna is a common Aussie name then I am greatly uninformed.

Culturally it isn't.

I am a first generation Australian in my family, who are originally from Taiwan. I am just as Australian as any blonde hair blue eyed Aussie. Born and raised in Australia, but just Asian.

They call us Bananas! (Yellow skin, white inside!)

It might not be perfect but every Australia player is based on an Australian citizen so it's not like any of the names are just picked at random or made up in any way (and this is the same for every country). I agree that the stereotypical or more common country names could probably be increased a bit but none of them are made up.

i've did a tl search only including nationality lithuanian as a filter. 5 of 10 players had a first name that doesnt show up in any lithuania names database on internet. 1 of them is russian name. 3 of them are very rare. only one is right and used in Lithuania. :) that isn't funny, but it makes me smile :)

My Grandfather was born and emigrated from Lithuania and I am upset that I have not seen a Sokas at all in any of the players I've encountered. Is that a common name?

Sokas as a first name wouldn't be anything like lithuanian names. but as a last name, it would be uncommon, but possible.
