Re: Typically "American " names
I'm not American, but I've met Americans when I visited Florida and my cousin who spent a year living in Manhattan got to meet plenty of Americans. Needless to say, most of these don't sound "typically" American, since a lot of them are obviously names of states, cities, or towns. A few of them sound like they come from the South (like Dixie and Holt), and several of them sound African-American (like TaLisa and Zhané).I also noticed that a lot of them aren't actually names, but nicknames, and plenty of them seem to come from TV characters. I think Cricket is one such name.Typically American would probably be easier to see with names that are higher on the American popularity charts than elsewhere. (Ashley on a girl would be a great example of that.)
