"Classic British" names
I've been very interested recently in the, what I would call, "Classic British-sounding" names, such as Beatrice, Harriet, and Georgia & Theodore, Rupert, and Harry.
Any name suggestions that seem to fit in the "Classic British-sounding" catagory?
Thanks!

I'd add to the girls' names list Gillian and Hilary. Vivien is the usual British spelling (Vivian is the male spelling).

Cressida, Lucy, Eugenia, Katherine nn KittySpring to mind right away. I'd look at British monarchs to get a good idea.
