Yah, I think in America you can use whatever name you like because the culture is so greatly mixed. Thats not to say that other countries can't, but since America specifically was brought up I am
just particularly mentioning America.
I am Irish, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Canadian, Scotch, Polish, Russian, Danish, etc. I am quite a mutt. Yet, my last name is German. Does that mean that I should go with an "American" or a "German" name simply for aesthetic reasons. Nay.
Also, what exactly is an "American" name. In my opinion, there is no such thing unless you are referring to native American names.
