Re: My 'Brit' Theory
Nigel Mansell is probably responsible!;-)
Well, it shows there is a trend for first names at different moments. My generation was loaded with Philippe for boys and Catherine for girls; it has changed since.
It also shows the lack of imagination from parents OR their unwillingness to distinguish their children from others. I'm very proud my parents (or rather, my grandfather) chose a very rare first name for me.
