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!

Why is it acceptable to pick on American names?

BartonHollow · 07/02/2019 21:28

No ones picking on them, they positively want a noticeably American name for a fictional character

@mimibunz comments like that will get you banned. Not cool. Really not cool.

Nevaeh, Aleisha, Marcela, Brittany.
Lots of biblical choices, really.

If you want a Southern US name, then go for a double barreled one. If you want a more North East then choose one that is gender neutral
MidWest more traditional. Californian then traditional with a ‘legally blond’ twist. If African American, then its a whole different ball game.

Southern
Bobbi - Rae
Maggie - Lyn

North East
Avery
Noa
Addison

Mid West
Molly
Claire
Brooke

California
Bradlee
Kayden
Larkin

I just did an online quiz of the 500 most popular American girls names for last year (didn’t get many right!!) and some of the ones that made me go Hmm were:

Baylee
Brylee - which my phone really wants to correct to Brûlée Grin
Brynlee
Braelyn
Blakely
Brielle
Bristol

Or non-B names:
Dakota
Delaney
Emersyn
Genesis
Journee
Kassidy
Kinley / Kinsley
London
Lyric
McKenna / McKinley
Presley
Raelynn
Reagan
Ryan
Shelby
Sloane
Tatum

wireswireswires What’s not cool is the pointless American bashing. Wind your neck in.

wireswireswires · 08/02/2019 16:42

@mimibunz I'm actually American and have no clue what you're talking about! I'm the first to report and get upset about America bashing.

Calling people 'english twats' is hardly taking the higher ground or appropriate even if there was US bashing going on. Honestly I'd be surprised if you didnt get a ban warning for that. You certainly would if you'd said 'Indian women are twats.'

I won't wind my neck in, your post was vile.

wireswireswires · 08/02/2019 16:43

If English women are all twats why on earth are you posting on a British site where the majority of people are British women?! Confused

Calzone · 08/02/2019 16:49

Bristol sounds great but could be confusing with the boys names.

Addison
Melinda

HalfBloodPrincess · 08/02/2019 16:49

I’m stealing Delaney for my girls list - it’s a really lovely name!

wireswireswires · 08/02/2019 16:53

Dakota is nice and getting more popular too.

origamiunicorn · 08/02/2019 16:56

Brandi-Lynn? Love the idea of them all have B names

SemperIdem · 15/02/2019 01:39

If we’re leaning more towards Gossip Girl in vibe and want to keep the B theme, then surely it has to be Blair?
