English naming traditions
English names mix Old English roots (Edward, Edith, Alfred), names brought by the Normans after 1066 (William, Robert, Matilda) and Bible names that became common after the Reformation. The Puritans added virtue names such as Grace, Hope and Faith. In England and Wales a birth must be registered within 42 days, and parents have wide freedom in choosing names. Recent trends include surname-style names (Harper, Mason), nature names (Willow, River) and short vintage revivals (Alfie, Ivy).
