Help[Opinions] Re: British names
in reply to a message by MelissaR
Huh, I don't think any of them are especially British. I guess they're more popular in the UK than America but Jack and Sophie are both popular in the US too. I don't know if you know, this site has the top 100 names for England/Wales, Scotland and Ireland, maybe you'd find that interesting:

A lot of names that are more popular in the UK also happen to be ones I dislike, like Harriet, Matilda, Imogen, Poppy, Millie, Oliver, Liam, Connor. The only one I can think of that I like is Georgia but that's popular in other places too. Maybe Flora / Florence. Alfie gets a lot of hate but it's not too bad, it's almost cute.
Anyway. Jack is nice, a bit dull, whatever. I like it and I think Jackie is really cool on a boy.
Harry I don't like, it's just not a great sound and it feels more like a nickname than Jack. It feels kind of like all those other dated Gary / Larry / Barry names except really popular.
Sophie is nice. I love Sophia, it's beautiful, but Sophie is more subdued and has less spark. I imagine a Sophie as quieter and more studious than a Sophia although I know plenty of Sophies and none of them have been like that.
