I don't think I have the Common American accent. I've received comments from so many people, especially while I was in college. Most of them can't place where my accent is from. I believe a part of it is due to spending so much time with my Grandma while growing up, and the other part is due to my Dad's accent - which people can't seem to place either. My Grandma was from Baltimore, MD but spoke a good bit of French (her ancestors were from France). She had what I guess you could call a French accent mixed with Eastern America. Then there's my Dad who has some Native American in him. I think I picked up on both sides. I try my best to speak correctly and enunciate clearly and since college have not gotten the same response to my speach.
