I am referring to American Chareidi Ashkenazim (non-Chasidic).

Again I want to stress it isn’t so common to find girls in such Beis Yaakovs using English names (as their primary name) but it is seen. Unlike in boys Yeshivas where it is extremely rare. And among older married couples (also non-Chasidic American Chareidi Ashkenazim) I more often (but also a small minority) see wives going primarily by an English name than a husband.
