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