A thought

Have you ever noticed that most, if not all, male names beginning with the letter "N" sound Brisitsh, or otherwise not American? For example: Ned, Nigel, Neal, Nathan -- that's pretty much all of the male "N" names I think of, but you get the point. I wonder why Americans hate N words so much. Hmmm.

You know, I thought about Nick, but then I realized that all of the Nick/Nikolai/Nicholas blokes I know are Russian.

And Thanks! :P

Norman sounds French. Napoleon? No, French also. I think Nimrod is the only one that doesn't sound French or English....

I think you may be on to something here.

I dunno... Ned sounds pretty American to me. Sounds kinda like a mid-western middle class white man. What about Neil? Well there's Neil Patrick Harris... you know... Doogie Howser....

Both Ned and Neil sound British to me. Mike, Butch, Frank, Bill, Bob - these are all American sounding names. No "N" words!
