I'm not British, but I was in the UK when my first child was born. I had a boy name, but was stuck for a girl one. I wanted Lucy, which works fine in my country but my friends assured me that it was only found on plump, spotty sixteen-year-olds who left school and worked for the local Post Office. Instead, they suggested Cartimandua and/or Boadicea/Boudicca and/or Britannia, all of which I politely declined. Luckily, I had a boy.
