Re: UK Girls BAs [Long]
I think Alfie and Poppy and Jack and Rosie and Tilly and Ollie and so on are part of the same aesthetic as Cath Kidston floral prints, shabby chic, bunting, those 'Keep Calm and Do X' posters, vintage cake-stands with home-made cupcakes, etc etc. Not my cup of tea, but I can see the appeal. Simple and cheery and cute, quite classless - you come across them on all sorts of kids - very British, and as this is quite an old trend now, not new enough to be scary. Coco is more of a 'media professional name'. She might have a brother called Django. A bit more 'edgy' (and more annoying)

Also don't the English sort of have a thing for aristocrats with names that don't seem to fit their status? Like Hyacinth Bucket's instant admiration of someone named "Porky Hooten" because it sounds "very public school" (and public schools are the fancy schools for the rich people there, right)?
