Mike, perhaps you might to consider adding the usage category: "American". There are a number of names, such as "Atticus", which are in common usage here in the U.S. and possibly Canada, but which may not necessarily be commonly used in other English-speaking countries.

You may even want to consider a usage category for "African-American" names.

  - A catagory that might be helpful is American Literature. - Tracie Mar 7 2002, 4:25:19 PM
    - But then all the other entries in the Literature category would have to be divided into different nationalities....sounds tricky. n/t - Barb Mar 7 2002, 5:37:27 PM
      - I agree. There should just be a single literature category for now. n/t - Mike C Mar 7 2002, 11:16:35 PM
