HelpRe: a 'typical' English name?
in reply to a message by Lauren B
Gillian (soft G) is typically English, since it evolved in England as a form of Juliana and was exported to the USA relatively late. Although not much used for babies at the moment it has a quintessential English feel.
I also suggest Tamsin (the s is pronounced like a z). Like the overused Jennifer it originated in Cornwall (Tamsin is a form of Thomasina) and spread to the rest of England.
A boy's Cornish name is Denzil.
Marmaduke is a Yorkshire name (but for some curious reason is not very popular!!!).
