[Opinions] Re: American names
Dakota and Cheyenne, along with Indiana and Montana, seem to show up pretty regularly in the Australian BA's people post on here. I wonder why that is?I agree with all your ideas of American names. Qiana could also be considered a variation of Kiana, which is Hawaiian, and thus you might call that aspect of it totally American too. Not to say that Hawaii isn't its own distinct culture.I wouldn't call Bubba a real name, but yeah, you'd never run across a British or French person called Bubba. (Lucky them, right?)All the over-the-top combos we see in Sabrina's BA's, like Trinity Angel Hope or My Treasure Son (just made those up) seem uniquely American. At least I honestly cannot imagine anybody else doing that.Wynona/Wenona would also strike me as uniquely American. It's a Native American word/name, and also the Judds' singer would lend Americanicity to it.
