To annoy my husband - yes, this is like a hobby - and for general reference, I need the most American names there are. I don't recognize them. I think of them as, you know, names. This first came up over Wyatt. I love Wyatt, but am not allowed to put it on the list as it is "excessively American." I'm also always intrigued by what gets panned as "too American" - I must say, some of them are "just ugly" or completely unknown to me until I moved out here. Do not put Taylah on my list - we name girls just Taylor. So far my Yankeelicious list includes: Boys Wyatt Chip, Chuck Levi DaShawn Tyrone, Tyriq, Tyrese, Tyrell, and Tyson. Jedidiah, Jeremiah. Cannon, Maverick Girls Liberty Betsy Shaniqua Summer Keisha and assorted Kesha/Ikesha/Lakeisha Note: I only actually personally like some of these names, but its good to have for reference purposes, and also I am deeply, deeply bored and being idle, and it's now officially Saturday FLUFF. EDIT: Dang it, my strikethrough didn't work and now I look dumb. Fine, Fairfax, it's Saturday fluff. Friday was not literal. FFFF. This post has been edited by la di dah: 12/01/2013, 12:24 AM

DH volunteers Buddy, as well. Forgot it on the original list. Is that Randy for the boy's side or the girl's? This post has been edited by la di dah: 12/01/2013, 12:26 AM

Todd and Hank would stand out for me. As for girls, I'm not sure maybe Charity or Faith.
