Help[Opinions] Re: American names
in reply to a message by Lillian
Hmm... maybe surnames on girls is uniquely American? After all, Taylor is a top 100 BOYS name is britain. But, also, it was a practice in the south long before the trend hit the rest of the country, was it not? Girls named Sullivan and... other surnames. Yeah, I really don't know much about it, aside from that it happened.
Would "hippie" names be uniquely American? I really don't know much about the 60s in Britain and Europe. Did any other county have Rainbows and Moonflower?
Thats all I have for now - but I will be back! Maybe. This is fun :-)

We have had hippies in Australia since the 60s
With plenty of Rainbows, Clouds and Daffodils and Oceans in that time. Nimbin in NSW is still a hippie town surviving from the 60s and a cousin of mine lives there at the moment because he works in a nearby town and according to him a little Madison or Emma would be unheard of there. The kids typically still have hippie-ish names

southern names.
I have a Pinckney in my Southern family tree, but other than that, no surnames on girls. However, lots of odd names -nicknames like Algae and Dee and invented ones like Galynn and Erla and Rasmass.

Oh...(m)
I didn't even consider "hippie" word names. That is a good suggestion as uniquely American.
