    I am curious to what the typical male first name is for New Zealanders, like Bruce is for Australia and Mick is for Ireland?

    When I called the New Zealand tourist agency a couple times once, I kept getting a guy named Ira. Prounounced Eye-ruh. That was a new one for me.

    Rangi is probably the stereotypical name for a New Zealand Maori. For the white population maybe Fred Dagg? :p

    OMG I totally forgot about Murray!!! When I was growing up our next door neighbour was a guy called Murray. He was a pig hunting, car loving, beer drinking, red blooded New Zealand male. He wasn't much of a talker either. How much more NZ male can you get??!
