  Most American/English names are used all over the world.

  Pretty much every name roots in other languages. Try looking some of the "common" ones up and you'll see.
  
  That being said... I wouldn't name my child Ezekiel or something.

  I just don't like when people give their children foreign names. ie. a friend's name is William Rodriguez and his mother's name is Maria. >_>
  
  It just doesn't sound right. Not saying it's wrong but it is so sexy to hear a full foreign name *-*...Like Lorezo Rodriguez in this case, I always tell him that.
  
  I feel parents should use names in their own language and/or cultural heritage as long as it can be pronounced by *most* people. A Korean friend of mine has a really weird name nobody can really pronounce, so we just call her Kitty :p

  
  
  What about parents that are different ethnicity from each other?

  I just knoooooooooow it.

  
  No, because then they'll think we're wapanese. DX
  
  DON'T MAKE ME THINK ABOUT NAMES YET.
  As long as it's not Maria. So uncreative. x.e

  Oh well in that case I guess it's alright since it wouldn't sound like a wanna-be name.
