Just to preface this, these aren't the top 20 in the general population. There is definitely an upper-class leaning, just like the BA's from the Times tend to be more posh than the England & Wales Top 100. If anyone has pronunciation questions, I'll do my best to explain.

WDYT? Any you think will catch on in English-speaking countries? Any you're surprised to see there? I was pretty surprised about Ambre and Angélique, they definitely have lower-class connotations in the U.S. (as Amber and Angelique, though).
