What's in a name? That which we call a rose...

Over the years, having travelled a bit for school, seminary, parish assignments, and the like I think I've found a pattern of sorts to the names you'll find.

OCA Diocese of the South? There is at list one child named Seraphim milling about.
Greek Archdiocese? Elenis for miles.
Heavily convert populated? One guy named Photius for sure.

People, help me out with some other regional/jurisdictional name markers that I'm missing.
