What exactly do you mean by this? I am not asking this out of spite, just genuinely interested. Do you mean very European names? What do you define as the formula of acceptability? I like some of these names, sure, but not all of them. Not to mention, I'm not sure if the OP that posted this knows this, but BA's in the London Telegraph are not reflective of all classes-they only print "middle class" BA's. England's middle class is equivalent to America's upper class, and many of these names are from families that are upstarts and trying to social-climb.
