Sarah Palin's children's names are in fact, rhyming slang:

Track (and field): well-heeled, rich
Bristol (City): titty, tits
(Weeping) Willow: pillow
(Pied) Piper: hyper
Trig(onometry): geometry

Okay, I made two of those up. But still, it would probably be foolish for any of these children to emigrate to the UK.

A bit late to this, but I recall a Radio 4 programme about WWII that incidentally noted that Devon was a (relatively) popular name among African-Americans (and particularly military familes) dated back to soldiers (who were of course in racially segregated units) being posted there. And of course once people hear it they think "Oh, that's a nice name" (which I can understand about Devon as it is reasonably euphonious, if it doesn't make you think of cider).
