Wow, the Spanish influence really is apparent, isn't it? As is our love of surnames.
Being American, I have no idea how crazy these names might appear to our overseas friends, but if it's anything like some of the 'most British' names do here, I should probably pare down the 'most American' names to the British Top 1000. ;)

Wait, does Ashley appear on the 'most American' girls' list, but the 'most British' boys' list? Interesting. There are a few other very 'British' boys' names that I see much more often on girls here--Finley & Mckenzie off the top of my head.
As well as surnames, we Americans seem to have embraced noun-names much more enthusiastically.
It'll be interesting to see if we start swapping trends, or at least a few trendy names, in the next decade or two.
