Category talk:English given names

"Name" vs. "Given name"?
Why are some of these names listed as "names" while others are "given names"? Aren't all names that aren't surnames, "given names"? And some of the names listed here, aren't even identified as a "name"! I'm not arguing for one designation over another, just looking for some consistency. 69.125.134.86 (talk) 15:25, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Because sections of page titles in brackets are used to distinguish different applications of the same term. The page "Rebecca" is about the biblical monarch, while "Rebecca (given name)" is about the name. Depending on possible interpretations, several wordings may be used to label the page.Kc110521 (talk) 19:10, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I think the anon is asking why some have "given" and some don't. It's generally because the name is also a surname, about which we have a separate article to distinguish from the given--name article. When there's just one article, "(name)" will suffice.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:45, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

What's the difference between the two categories?
There's a category called "Category:English given names" and a category "Category:English-language given names." What's the difference between them? I'm sure there's a real reason there are two separate pages, as this is also the case with their gender-specific subcategory pages, but this reason isn't supplied on the pages themselves, nor are their definitions given. I'm hesitant to add these out of fear of misinforming others, and thus am bringing it up here. I will place this comment on the other talk page as well.Kc110521 (talk) 19:24, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've added descriptions and . This one is for give names of English (England) origin; the other is for names commonly used in the English language, regardless of origin.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:13, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
