Social class, probably, if it's true. And it sounds like a British observation, I would guess. The murdering classes appear to have a taste for what respectable people avoid, names-wise. This sounds dreadfully nineteenth century, but demonstrably not everyone has gone PC and given their children class-free names!

And names have very different meanings in America and in England. So many US parents believe that, say, Travis and Audrey are the height of chic, but their image on the other side of the North Atlantic is very different.
