The older the aristocratic family, the more they recycled the same names. The former Lady Diana Spencer, who became the beloved Princess Diana, was one in a very long line of Lady Diana Spencers. Even British kings are keen to recycle the same names. Therefore, you’ve got your Jameses, Charleses, Edwards, Georges, Richards, Henrys, to name some of the most prominent.

Eight out of ten babies before the twentieth century tended to be named from among the top ten names; this is apparent in the letters of Jane Austen where the same names tend to occur. Girls are more likely to be given names outside this list than boys.

S: William John Thomas James George Joseph Richard Henry Robert Charles

However there were too some weird and wonderful names about in the period, some taken from classical sources and some from literary derivations.

---

Occasionally, younger sons would be given what I assume to be old family surnames like Willoughby, Albemarle, and Montague.
