Super American Names

[PepperSteak]

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!

I live in the USA and among women and girls I know we have:

Madison
Christie
Evangelina
Chandler
Addison
Camryn
Sadie
Mary-Grace
Carrie
Callie
Marisa
Monica
Mary-Kate
Savannah
Sierra
Serenity
Mackayla
Kate-Lynn
Ashleigh
Darlene
Teigan
Brianna

Brie

Piper.
I have an American friend whose daughter has this name.

Blakely
Brinkley
Brinley
Baleigh/Bailey

Kenley
Kinley
Skylar
Kendall
Rylee/Riley/Ryleigh
Kailyn/Cailyn
Kelsey/Kelsie

We had a restaurant server in America last month called Dollyanne. Very American

Mackenzie
Adalynn
McKenna
Emelynn
Arya
Brynlee
Skylar
Addisyn
Amariah
Everly
Bristol
Londyn
Aspyn
Nevaeh
Emilia
Emersyn
Amalia
Eliana
Chloe

All names of American children I know.

I am personally acquainted with small American girls bearing the following names:

Barrett
Campbell
Symphony, nn Simi
Mary-Faust
Sydney
Gray
Carey
Elliott
Kinsley
Maeve
Wynona
Celeste
Mara
Sloane

Many of the names suggested on the thread are either very dated or very unsubtle caricatures. There are a few exceptions.

I'm American. Super common names are Emily, Jennifer, Ashley, Lindsay, Melissa, Kristen, Lauren, Sarah, Jessica.

I dont know what OTT stands for? "Trashy" names that come to mind are Mercedes, Amber, Crystal, Destiny, Nevaeh.

As an American, I think there is a lot of stereotyping happening here! There are not really specific styles in different areas of the US! For the most part we have very normal names! On occasion you meet someone with a wild name but that is not the norm!

OTT is 'over the top'.

Oh got it! I think celebrities and reality stars make us look bad. All the Kardashian kids names: North. Chicago, Stormy, True, Dream.

Then there's always Apple, Moxie, Denim, Moon.

But again I feel like it isnt the norm to actually meet anyone with these names! I guess some people think they are being creative when on reality they just make it hard on their kids!!
