HelpRe: British names
in reply to a message by LMS
I'm English and I agree with you about Imogen, Nigel, Penelope, Harry and Beatrix. (Nigel is a bit dated though)
Winston is a name (like Reginald) which I have seen used more in the black / Jamaican community. Edwin is really not popular here at all.
IMO nicknames as first names like Millie and Alfie are very 'British'

Seems to me this is also common in the New England area
I have relatives in Pennsylvania, New York and Boston. They all do this -ee thing. Cliffy, Kurty, Jackie, etc - all grown men. Bostonians refer to state troopers as "staties." It sounds so childish to me!
