Вот что по этому поводу пишут на forum.wordreference.com:
"It's not so much the case any more (people don't really care), but in the past 'napkin' was associated with the upper class and 'serviette' was firmly lower or middle class.
I suppose in the US 'serviette' is pretentious because it sounds deliberately foreign."

Кейт Фокс, грубо перефразируя, говорит, что 'serviette' употребляют те, которые не дотягивают на самом деле до среднего и выше класса, чтобы казатья "posh" :)
