Help[Opinions] Re: American Sounding Names
in reply to a message by Melanie
Names that I think of as American:
(f) Lori, Kimberly, Kendra, Nancy, Sherry, Candy, Teri, Hope, Virginia, Lois, Lucille, Laverne, Crystal, Dana, Erin, Eden, Amber, Alyssa, Chelsea
(m) Willard, Wilbur, Eugene, Chester, Marvin, Earl, Randy, Dale, Duane and Dwayne, Curtis, Otis, Travis, Dustin, Chad, Jared, Nathaniel, Cory / Corey, Zachary, Jedediah, Micah, Cole, Wade, Gram and Marlon
Plus: all surname-names that aren't Scottish on boys and all surname-names on girls, most place-name names (especially ones like London and Camden and Ireland), most word-names (River, Brooke, Crystal etc) and anything with apostrophes, internal capitalisation, or an unusual spelling that isn't obviously European, especially if it ends in -lynn or -leigh.
