I think I have posted this earlier, but I hope you'll read it anyway.
According to the book A World of Baby Names by Teresa Norman, these are some typically "American" first names. Many of them are names I've never even seen except in this book. Those of you who live in North America, are these first names "typically American" or is this just gibberish (like the sites that claim that atrocities like "Bergron" and "Fiske" are Swedish first names)? Many of them seem to be surnames...
