Re: An observation...
Brits love their nicknames for boys and girls.My cousin's two sons are actually called Alfie and Archie, and her reason for using the nicknames, was that Alfred and Archibald are "too posh for someone like me." She also has a daughter called Abbie, and this time it wasn't that Abigail was too posh for her, she just thought it would be odd to use a full form when she hadn't for the two boys.
