Help[Opinions] BAs from England
It's been a while since I posted some BAs so here are the ones from the last month or so from Southampton, England. I can't say I really love any of them (although I like Eleanor and don't mind Emilia) but they're fairly typical, I think.
Archie Glen
Harley Thomas Philip – “playmate” for Jordan and Benjamin
Isaac Leon
James Owen – brother for Izzy and Amber
Mikey
Noah John
Oliver Steven
Oscar
Riley Warwick
Samuel Joel – brother to Maya and Owen
Sid - [This seems v odd to me as a first name, even by English standards of shortening names.]
Thomas Brian – brother for Aaron, Nathan and Daniel. Cousin for Jasmine and Cain
Brooke-Louise (mum’s name is Jordan-Louise). Neice for Dan and Maddison.
Charlotte Rose
Dani Clare
Eleanor Alice – sister for Isabelle - [I like Isabelle and Eleanor]
Ellice Ruby
Emilia Tyla Virtue – sister to Kieran, Josh and Ethan - [Interesting combo]
Eve
Evie Louise
Evie Rose – sister for Molly and James
Faith Louise
Layla Julia
Lillie Paige
Poppy Joy
Rosie Kay
Ruby Mae – sister for Emily and Rebecca
There appears to be a trend of two-syllable fn (nicknamey) with a one syllable mn).

I wanted to call a future DD Ruby Mae for years, but then the combo got really popular and both are still popular now.

English people use beautiful names for their kids. I really like Ruby Mae.

really?!?!?! I think most of them are horrid!
But then I live in England, so I'm used to seeing the 'nickname as fn-filler mn' combo. It just bores me now.

I have opinions for this:
1. Archie, Dani, and Evie are nicknames, not full given names.
2. Warwick sounds pretentious, even if it's a middle name.
3. Sid will be forever associated with Sid Vicious.
But as for the rest, I like them!

I don't think Riley or Noah are british names, Sid is short for Sidney and was a 60s generation thing. Mikey, i don't get why this name has become so popular over here in the UK...or Oscar for that matter. British names are just traditional biblical victorian type names really. Very unoriginal.
Ellice is clearly made up and not british, as is Dani as shortening names like that is only done for cutsie-name purposes, Dani would almost certainly be Danielle.

I'm not quite sure what your point is. They are names used by British people living in Britain which makes them British names!
Noah is currently no. 50 and Riley is at 58 in the popularity charts. Oscar is at 38.
Ellice is presumably a re-spelling of Ellis and fits the current trend for El names (Ellie, Ella, Eleanor and Elizabeth are in the top 100, Eloise, Ellen and Elle were a few years ago). Ellis for a boy is at no. 78.
If Dani really was Danielle then that is how her parents would have announced it in the paper. I didn't just make it up. Takes me long enough to collate the names, without inventing them as well!
British names are not just Biblical or Victorian, believe it or not.
