Super American Names

I’m writing a project for my creative writing club. I want to give one of the characters (female) a very OTT American name. Her brothers are called Boston and Becket!

Suggestions please! The crazier the better!

Love braska (short for nebraska) suggestion!
How about Bacey. (Rhymes with tracy and sticks to the B theme.

Disneyland this year there were twins Dakota and McKenna. To be fair they were lovely and suited the names but very American to my ear!

I'm American and went to school with about 20 Amanda's but maybe not necessarily 'American sounding' though Mandy might work.

Waterlemon · 07/02/2019 18:59

Shelby

HalfBloodPrincess · 07/02/2019 18:58

Oh wasn’t there a bit on the film ‘Ted’ where they named loads of girls?

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 07/02/2019 18:58

Kayley (or Keyleigh or Ceilidhee, or Keylee, or Kaighleigh, etc etc)
Madison
Jennifer (40+)
Heather (40+)
Candi
Random nouns-as-names or surnames-as-fornames: Harper, Haven, Winter, Mckenzie, Blaire, Bailey)

(I think Randy is a boys name but should definitely be incorporated somewhere if you’re looking for “definitely never happening in England”).
