There are still boys/men named Beverly??Ashley doesn't shock me, since I'm aware it's still a boys' name over there, even though it's been firmly in girl territory almost as long as I've been alive (with the exception of a stray one here and there). Same with Leslie.I think I heard of a man named Lynn recently. Not sure of age, but I think he was older than me.

I don't know anyone in England, but those are names that if I heard on a boy, I'd say, "Oh, he's from England."

I wouldn't say many of those are popular.I've never heard of a man named Lynn or Beverly. Cormac is more Irish, not really British.

I'm from the US, never been to England, so some of this is just from literature/ movies/ what I've seen here on the boards from people in England.
