Re: What's an American name? n/t
Tayla, Tyler, McKayla, Emmalou, Clint, Clay, Breeanna, Britney, Cary, Elvis, Marilyn, Erycka ...To be fairish, I read a good article once about how Old Testament names like Noah and Abraham, Sarah and Abigail seemed psychologically suited to the pioneering spirit of nineteenth-century America. It sort-of works!
Also, a name that looks like bad taste to me in my green suburban surroundings might be the only way a ghetto parent can express her originality.

Yep, come to think of it, LaToya is quite original and subversive :)
