I am aware it is Polish law that all first names must be gender-specific, and therefore in Poland there's no such thing as a "unisex" first name. I also know it is illegal in Poland to name a newborn baby boy a female-only first name and to name a newborn baby girl a male-only first name. Are non-Polish female-only first names not ending in letter "a" (but having no Polish counterpart) allowed for newborn baby girls born in Poland? Non-Polish female-only first names such as Amber, Bethany, Brittany, Constance/Connie, Hazel, Heather, Gladys, Jennifer, Megan/Meghan, Pearl, etc? And what about non-Polish male-only first names ending in letter "a" or "ah" such as Joshua, Isaiah, etc. I know that in Poland there a common male-only diminutive name Kuba for the Polish given name Jakub. In general, are newborns who are born in Poland to Polish born & raised parents given only traditional Polish first names (which is what I'm guessing to be correct)? Or has this sort of thing been changing nowadays in modern-day Poland? And what are the most common non-Polish first names in Poland?
