"Raymond notes that cultures outside the United States have their own preferences. Fred, barney, and wombat seem common in the U.K. Toto, tata, titi, and tutu reportedly are used by the French. Blarg and wibble are used in New Zealand."

Have never seen nor heard blarg and wibble in NZ before, have seen fred and barney thou.
