Help[Opinions] Re: Typically "American " names
in reply to a message by Caprice
I've never heard of or encountered most of these! When I think of typical "American" names, I think of surnames (Ashley, Mackenzie), word/virtue names (River, Truth) or unexplainable trendy names (Jayden, Nevaeh) all of which have suddenly taken off in popularity. I don't even think the names of children of Hollywood stars are completely representative of American naming styles although that might be changing a bit.
In this list, I'd say these would be somewhat, though not completely, representative of "American" names:
Arlan
Jaidon
Kadin
Phoenix
Rider
Calandra
Caledonia
Carter (more for a boy)
Dixie
Montana (ditto)
Oceana
Sahara
Treasure
Tuesday
Velvet

Arlan- my dad has a cousin named Harland, with is similar. It's also like his cousin Arla and aunt Arlia (pronounced the same)
Jaidon and Kadin- there are several spellings for the 'aidens', so these make sense as American names to me.
Montana- the only one I know is a girl.
I agree that the reason that they're 'typically "American"' is that you would be more likely to meet one here instead of Britain, Canada, Australia, or any other English speaking country.
