Re: British names
Harriet: I think of this as American because it reminds me of Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Rupert: I agree, this seems very British to me. I never knew it was not popular in Britain though.
Alfie: This reminds me of that hairy creature that used to have it's own TV program.
Neville: Again, very British but I didn't know it wasn't popular.
Nigel: Oh, this is a good one. It reminds me of the character on the TV show Frasier.
Archibald: Very british. Is this one popular at all? Is it even in the top 1000's in Britain?
Basil: I rank this with Herb, which I also see as a Brit name.
Reginald: This is a butler name to me. You mention that it reminds you of a black American name, which I suppose is true. The black people I know with the name Reginald always go by Reggie though.
Beryl: I always thought this was from a germanic language. Eh, you learn something new every day.
