Default French Toast

I have read various names for fried egg-soaked bread: US "French Toast",
British "Eggy bread", Canadian "Pain Doré", and finally French "Pain
Perdu". Are these really all the same thing and are the names used
consistently in the various countries? My apologies if I have got the
gender wrong on the two "Pains".

I think I am right in saying that in US usage, "Egg Bread" means bread
with egg in the dough such as Challah?
