Someone asked people on Twitter to come up with some ‘made up American names’ – 22 star-spangled stunners

There are a lot of American names that, if you see them written down you, just know that they’re from the USA. Just look at some of their golfers and you’ll see what we’re on about – you’re certainly not going to find people called Webb Simpson, Bubba Watson, Scottie Scheffler or Brandt Snedeker working at your local Greggs.

With this in mind, British comedian and podcaster Tom Nestor asked his followers to ‘make up some yank names’ and kicked off with his own wonderful suggestion.

The replies were as deliciously American as Mom’s apple pie…
