[Opinions] Best American Baby Names
More Nameberry. Because I can't get enough. ;)These are the names they consider to be the best American names, whatever that means. They didn't really explain it, beyond saying that they come from a range of sources. Please make me one girl combo, one boy combo, and a gender neutral combo, if that's your thing. You can use as many middle names as you want. GO!!

Wynona July & Jackson HawkthorneBoy this was hard! I do legitimately like Carolina and Virginia (my grandmother's middle name), but I couldn't find a pairing I wanted. Carolina Virginia sounds nice, but that's sure way too "Stately" if you catch my drift.

Liberty Cheyenne & Lincoln HawthorneThese are very American indeed lol. Liberty Cheyenne sounds very 'white girl' name but I have been intrigued by both names for awhile. Especially love the nn Libby and Link.

Alaska Denali Janae & Dakota MaverickTex wasn’t good to begin with but he was used for a crazed cult follower in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and now that’s all I can think of when I see it.

Phoenix YumaI like Sojourner and don't mind Phoenix. I kinda like Glory and Booker in these specific combos or as GPs maybe.
I was a little tempted to use Yuma. I've been listening to this song by Judy Henske lately...There is a lonely train called the 3:10 to Yuma
That is the only train left for me to ride on
I'll ride your lonely train called the 3:10 to Yuma
I'll hand my ticket in on my last townThey say the life of man is made in four seasons
The springtime finds him young and planting his grain
But then the summer comes bringing warm rain of reason
It's time to eat his crop of heartache and painAnd then the leaves turn brown and dust piles are rolling
And autumn wears a crown of crimson and gold
But down in Yuma town where the summer is always
Yeah, down in Yuma town, a man can grow oldAnd then the winter comes, finds him snow-cropped and laden
He's bent and humble now, walking into the rain
But there's a lonely train called the 3:10 to Yuma
I'll hand my ticket in on my last train
(based on this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeO5GwR_PIU)
Sad Americana. Could be fun for a character.

I find them far from the best, generally speaking, but here goes:Liberty July. Yes, I would do this, given only these choices. MURICA. I like both names a lot. Lincoln Jefferson. Yes, I would do this, given only these choices. MURICA. I like both names a lot.
