Out of that second list... I have only ever met/known people named
Miriam,
Harriet, &
Gwen. And
Phaedra, but it was so rare that everyone mispronounced it every time they read it. The others don't strike me as "American" at all.
As for the first list, the only
Daniella I have ever met was Romanian.
Danielle would be common enough though. It's my middle name and I've met numerous of them over the years.
I've never met a
Cerys in my entire life. I know one
Charis and her name is incredibly rare and I've never known anyone else to have it and everyone mispronounced it constantly.
