[Opinions] Re: British names

Jack is boring as Hell. Harry is only British because of the Prince, I see it more as French/American. And Sophie is also French.
I live in Britain, and I'm pretty sure we have mostly the same names as they do in America, so what makes them ours?
But anyway: I like Elizabeth, and Caroline. Are these British?

Elizabeth is biblical (I think) or a version of a Hebrew name. I think it might seem British because of the Queen and because it's been very popular here over the years. Caroline doesn't seem that British to me.

This is exactly what I mean by definition of British name. I'm British and even I have no clue!
Out of interest, what does Caroline seem to you, because I think of atristocrisy which is totally British in my mind. :)
