How long before hardcore Sporclers start naming their kids 'Kyrgyzstan'?

What if these kids start dating?
Awww, look at Israel and America holding hands...
Ireland is, like, SOOO jealous of Scotland and England making out at the movies
I heard Chad and Kenya are going to Hungary for their honeymoon
India and China are adopting a kid! Don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.
Oh, there go Britain and Argentina arguing again.
Sorry, I’ll stop.

This quiz was inspired by a long-ago meeting with a woman who had two kids named Chad & Brittany. I asked her if she planned to name all her kids after countries. She looked like she'd seen a ghost. She had never noticed that before.

One other note, while most of these names are overwhelmingly going to girls, (Chad being an obvious exception), almost exactly half of the Irans are boys, half girls.

More people are calling their children "Malaysia" than "India"?! India is quite a common name in the UK, at least...

Wow, Chad has fallen out of favor. About 7000 kids a year were named Chad in the 80's
