All of them

Mostly American.

I’m not sure of their origins but I kind of get what your DH means. None of them are traditional names in the UK and all of them would fit a character in an American TV show.

It doesn’t mean that they aren’t nice names though and you shouldn’t use them.

What are his choices?

Almost all of them sound very American.
