Re: British English diminutives or rare names
in reply to a message by Felie
Diminutives that immediately strike me as British are:
Alfie
Archie
Harry
Jack
Liam
Ollie
Louie
Bertie
Charlie
Evie
Ellie
Effie
Lottie
Georgie
Maisy
Molly
Lillie
Pippa
Sadie
Mireio is right, diminutives like these are much more popular in the UK than in the US at the moment.
