Hey! As most of you are from America I thought you could help me with this mission. I really like “American names". For example:

GIRLS:
Lorelai (Gilmore Girls)
Cadence (got this off a baby name site)
Jessa (… Kids and Counting)
Jinger /Ginger(… Kids and Counting/As Told By Ginger)
Hallie (The Parent Trap)

BOYS:
Logan (Gilmore Girls/Zoey 101)
Chase (Zoey 101)
Bentley (16 & Pregnant/Teen Mom)
Cody (The Suite Life of Zach & Cody)
Jackson (Hannah Montana/… Kids and Counting)

UNISEX:
Bailey (Party of Five/Suite Life on Deck)

The reason I like them is that they are British-sounding without being too popular here. So could you please suggest some “American names”.

Um when I think "American" I think Ashley, Jessica, Tiffany, Brittany, Joshua "Josh", Michael, Christopher "Chris" -- All the names that were overused in my generation.

But honestly...please don't spread the terrible tryndy "American" names any futher. PLEASE!
