Re: American Names
I'm from Australia and I'd say not really. But some kind of stick out... I don't personally know a Gabriel (although obviously it's a Biblical name and not "American"), Chase, Addison, Neveah, Avery, Aubrey, Brooklyn (that's a possibility since it's your Country), Mackenzie (I think of that as pretty American), Aaliyah (more Arabic than American I suppose), Autumn (seeing as for us it's a season and weirder to name your child that) and Payton. And I just pulled those from the US top 100. It also doesn't mean that they're not popular in other parts of Australia or the world though.And definatley not John, Mary and Bob. They're just common names, that's all.

Susannah was quite popular in early America, like many biblical names. nt  ·  LuzDeTuVida  ·  7/29/2009, 2:37 PM

Yes. Americans use both Fall and Autumn. They're just synonyms to us. nt  ·  LuzDeTuVida  ·  7/29/2009, 1:06 PM
