[Opinions] Re: American Names
in reply to a message by Felie
Perhaps other Americans will disagree with me, but I don't think that there are names typical of the areas you mention. Other than the South being fond of double-barreled girls names, and some names sounding "country" so seeming Southern, the only "area-typical" names I can think of is Spanish names being more common in areas with a lot of Latinos.
The South is unique. The fact that some names sound Southern doesn't mean that every area has its typical names.

Southern names to me are just typical Ulster Scots or British names. You find similar styles in parts of Australia and England, so I don't think they are that unique to the South.
