It is doubly difficult for the British to choose a name for a girl, since British girls' names consist of two first name and middle name. Important, of course, is the first name, since it is a personal name. It should be noted that the fashion for British girl names is changing every year, as there is an active mixing of several cultures, which was not the case in past centuries.
In 18th century Britain, the most popular female given names were Elizabeth, Mary and Anna. Almost every third newborn was named either Mary or Anna. At the same time, such female British names as Mary, Anna almost do not lose their popularity. Even now they are often used. But choosing the name of the girl, parents must understand that by doing so they determine her fate. If you want to have a girl with a warlike character, then we advise you to call her Alexa or Alexandrea, that is, the defender of humanity. And the names Gabby and Brill have a meaning - strong from God. British name Claribel means bright and beautiful. When choosing a name, do not forget to take into account the consonance with the surname, while the name should be light and pleasant. Parents often make this mistake when naming their children complex names. As a result, the child difficult fate or severe nature. Our list of British girl names will help you when choosing.

Origin
Traditions associated with English and American names are different from what we are used to. In English-speaking countries, a person's name consists of three components: the first (given name), the second (middle name) and the surname (surname). The role of the first and second can be traditional names and even last names. In addition, they are often used diminutive forms(for example, these are Americans known to all of us: Bill Clinton or Johnny Depp), even in an official setting.
The history of the origin of names always helps to learn more about the history of the country, its culture. In England, you can find names of Anglo-Saxon origin, biblical and imbued with Protestant culture (Faith-My-Joy, Everlasting-Mercy), borrowings from other cultures and familiar to everyone individual names, which today can be any common noun.

TOP 5 unusual female names in English
Since many people are looking for a "unique" name, finding a really unusual name can be extremely difficult, especially when it comes to girls. Historically, girls' names have tended to be fashionable, while boys' names have been more conservative. For example, while the most popular female name changes every 10 years, "Michael" has been in the top 10 for over 75 years. Due to this, there are more popular beautiful female names than male ones. In addition, many trendy "unusual" names for girls come from men's names. So if you're looking for something out of the ordinary but distinctly feminine, then you may need to dig a little deeper.
The names below are given to 10 or fewer newborn girls each year, so of course there's a small chance she'll have to share hers. unique name with anyone else. But, if you want your new addition to the family to stand out among Emma, Olivia and Sophia, feel free to choose one of the unusual names below for your little princess.
- Flannery. Perhaps you have not yet reached the point of reading famous story Flannery O'Connor, "Everything That Rises Must Converge" ("Everything That Rises Must Converge") But that shouldn't stop you from giving preference to this warm-sounding Irish name. "Flannery" comes from "flann" and "gal" meaning "ruddy" and "bravery" in Irish, only 10 little girls were given that name in 2016.
- Alberta. The English name, meaning "noble" and "bright", probably comes from the western province of Canada. However, there is information that the province is actually named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, one of Queen Victoria's daughters. Although the name can be quite popular abroad, in 2016 only 9 girls were named with it.
- Sigourney. Who knows, maybe the new "Alien" would turn out quite tolerable, if there main woman the entire franchise. Not many parents name their daughters Sigourney. In fact, only 8 families chose it in 2016, but we know that this is the name of the winner (which, by the way, it means). Even Sigourney Weaver herself once admitted in an interview that she changed her first name to "Susan", inspired by a character from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby.
- Talullah. The main thing is not Tanunnah. Although celebrities such as Demi Moore, Patrick Dempsey and Philip Seymour Hoffman have nicknamed their daughters Tallulah, only 7 families chose this enchanting Choctaw Indian name meaning "jumping water" in 2016. Previously associated with the greatest stage and screen star Talullah Bankhead, now it has basically established itself as the most appropriate name for southern beauties. Another meaning of the name is “radiant girl”.
- Antigone. Just like the name of the anti-theft system. The meaning of the name is "instead of a child." If you want to make a solid name choice with a good history, then Antigone is a good choice. The brave and principled heroine of an often retold story in Greek mythology It hits right on target and more than that. Although the name has been known throughout history, parents have made it a slightly unusual choice for their daughters - only 8 families named their daughters Antigone in 2016. We'd say "Tig" sounds pretty cute too. Girls with the name Antigone are distinguished by courage and independence. In childhood, this manifests itself in the form of pronounced self-will and excessive curiosity even for a child.
Double English names
If one name is not enough for you, you can try to go one more way. actually give to children double names is a relatively recent tradition. Until the 18th century, people managed with only one name and surname. For a long time, the source of names was mainly the only one - a list of saints and holidays in calendar order ( church calendar). But there were quite a few variations on the themes of church names among the people: in English, the Latin form "Maria" was transformed into "Mary" (Mary), which, in turn, gave the diminutive "Molly" (Molly), and then "Polly" ( Polly). The name "Joannes" comes from the Hebrew. Jochanan, gave in medieval England the forms "Jan", "Iohn" and "John" (John), as well as the diminutives "Jankin", "Jackin", and only then the popular name "Jack" (Jack). A female form"Ioanna", borrowed from the French "Jeanne" (Jeanne), turned into three independent names at once: "Jane" (Jane), "Jean" (Jean) and "Joan" (Joan).
That's all we have. If you suddenly decide to move to live in the USA and start a family there, then you will certainly know what to name your offspring!
