  Surname-names fit the bill. However, since they are so trendy now, you really have to try to use one that still sounds like a surname. Baby Name Wizard wrote a blog about surname-names that still sound more like surnames, but yet work as names.

  Southern: double names for girls.  Mary Elizabeth, Sarah Katherine, etc.

  and sometimes double names for boys: John Michael, John David, etc.
  

  some other ideas: girls; Shelby, Laura, Emily,  Aubrey

  boys; Andrew, Brent, Grant, and lots of going by initials :JP, TJ, etc.

  I have a friend who grew up in the South, and her name is Ansley.  I forever associate that name with the South because of her.
