All that you've said is true for other English speaking countries, but not if other countries are taken into account. For example most Slavic languages have Faith and Hope in their language (Nada, Vera, Nadezda, etc) and most Catholic countries are big on Bible names like Gabriel, so they're not what I'd call 'American names'.

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