HelpRe: at the risk of seeming very obvious ...
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I was really just looking for anecdotal evidence, because I think this could create an interesting conversation. I'm looking more for conceptions of names not actual raw data. Like people always say Annabelle sounds like a southern name, but it's not especially popular in the south. Same for Susannah. I do know how to use the SSA site though, thanks.

Annabelle doesn't sound Southern to me, though maybe it's the belle that does for others? It sounds old English children's book more than anything else to me.
Susannah does sound Southern, probably because of the song O Susannah. But it also sounds Puritan-era New England.
