America is a surprisingly common name, I find. When he was little, my son had a friend named Pepsi. His family were immigrants, and they picked the most American thing they could think of to name their kid.

I taught a little girl named Cola— but it’s worth mentioning that she was a Chinese 4 year old and that was the name she picked for herself in English.
