Do you want a short, sweet, and sophisticated name for your child? Or do you wish for a name that can be accepted universally? In both the cases, Britain baby names are ideal for you. Britain baby names have a sophisticated flair to them. Another thing we’ve noted is that British names are always in style and have never been out of the top 100 list. So it will always make wise naming options.
In the 18th and 19th century, the naming convention in Britain followed a basic pattern. The first son was named after the father, the second son was named after the mother’s father, the third son was named after the father’s father, and the fourth son was named after the father’s eldest brother. The first daughter was named after the mother’s mother, the second daughter was named after the father’s mother, the third daughter was named after the mother, and the fourth daughter was named after the mother’s eldest sister. The convention has certainly changed now. The British are now free to select any name they like. But royal families use the same names over and over again. It’s their way of honoring their elders.
