Hello, everyone,
I'm not a mom or pregnant, just very interested in names. I've been reading here for a while and am a regular on another name website, and I've noticed that lots of posters here seem to feel a certain disdain for "American" sounding names. I'm curious about this, partly because I'm American, and partly because I don't understand the categorization.
So, what are these American names you speak of? And I'm wondering if all "American-sounding names" are inherently tacky to the British/Irish ear, or... what do you think? Where do "Australian sounding names" fit into this equation?
I have a feeling that this category of names is what a good number of Americans would label "tacky" or "trendy"... or at least I hope so.
Thanks, y'all (I might as well play up my Americanness, right?)
:)
