Re: American Names
Wasn't the original question 'what is a uniquely American name?'? In which case names like Gabriel or Nathaniel can hardly be seen unique when they're used all over the world and are quite popular in some other countries. That's all I meant with my post. Just because a name is popular in the US that doesn't make it 'trademark American' which is what the OP was asking for I believe.

Yes, I think most people would assume Nathaniel was an American, unless it was spelled Nataniel. Nathaniel really isn't used much in other countries as far as I know. It's a very American name to me.
