HelpRe: What is a good modern American name for a girl?
in reply to a message by noel
Out of that second list... I have only ever met/known people named Miriam, Harriet, & Gwen. And Phaedra, but it was so rare that everyone mispronounced it every time they read it. The others don't strike me as "American" at all.
As for the first list, the only Daniella I have ever met was Romanian. Danielle would be common enough though. It's my middle name and I've met numerous of them over the years.
I've never met a Cerys in my entire life. I know one Charis and her name is incredibly rare and I've never known anyone else to have it and everyone mispronounced it constantly.

I've met a Daniella and a Karis (pronounced like Cerys)...at the same time, actually (we were co-workers, and they weren't foreign)...this was in South Carolina. No one seemed to have difficulty with their names. Daniella went by Ella half the time, which these days is more common than Danielle.
The 2nd list's just my personal version of "good", and being an American myself, I consider them plausible. :P

Okay, but as a 30-year-old South Carolinian, they seem too odd to be plausible to me.
