Rose is the only name in that whole list which isn't Jewed. Maybe Gordon, I'm not sure on that one. Could be Gaelic. But Rose is the only proper name for a white person on that list.
If you name your kid Mary, you might as well just call her Shaniqkua, because everyone will know she isn't white.

Shawn: Irish version of Johanan, hebrew
Jessie: from Yiskah, hebrew
Mary: from Miryam, hebrew
Gordon: Gear DĂșn, scots-gaelic
Rose: Roese, norman
Literally all of those names have a "faggy" history which have nothing to do with America or Canada. If you're going to saddle your kid with a name for 70-90 years, might as well put a little thought into it and give them something that reflects their background.
And you can trace your family's line back to a specific African culture can you?

Right, so unless you make up a name you're going to use a name that other people have used before. Doesn't means it's not American. Just like the names, the people were once European/middle eastern

You should try reading a bit of the bible, you will be surprised how many "modern American" names are in there. If you do this you will also learn that the whole "Humans started in Africa" thing is a lie.
