[Opinions] American Names

I was just thinking to myself. Are there any names that seem markedly American? I am from the US, but I know a few people here are from else where, so it would be interesting to see what your perspectives are. For some reason John and Mary seem to stick out in my mind.

Are there any typically only-in-the-US kind of names?
Maybe Bob... ^_^

WDYT?

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