I definitely think Millie feels incredibly British! Elsie, Poppy & Hattie too - thereâs something about a two syllable name ending with an â-eeâ sound. A few others⌠Ivy, Lottie, Ada, Edith, Iris, Daisy, Frankie, Edie, Pippa, Connie, Tilly, Fern, Peggy, Bessie. Nicknames as names & floral names feel very British to me!
You only asked for girls names but Albie, Reggie, Freddie & Arthur feel very British to me too.
Edit: canât believe I forgot Primrose! Ultra British to me.

For me -
Distinctive [name_f]British[/name_f] actress names such as [name_f]Imelda[/name_f] (Staunton), [name_f]Tilda[/name_f] (Swinton), [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] (Stubbs). And therefore by extension names with a similar clunky-cool, patrician, offbeat feel eg [name_f]Isadora[/name_f], [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f], [name_f]Edwina[/name_f]
Old lady eg [name_f]Agnes[/name_f], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
Eccentric eg [name_f]Plum[/name_f] (Sykes) - not her actual name.
Cottagecore - [name_f]Cecily[/name_f], [name_u]Esme[/name_u], the florals eg [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_u]Rose[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_u]Ivy[/name_u], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] or other nouns eg [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
Aristocratic - eg [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
Elegant eg [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u]. Think [name_u]Austen[/name_u].
Victorian scullery maid eg [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], [name_f]Hettie[/name_f], [name_f]Betsy[/name_f], Bess(ie), [name_f]Tess[/name_f]
Lit & legend inc Arthurian, eg [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] / [name_f]Rowenna[/name_f], [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
Shakespearean eg [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
Celtic / Gaelic eg [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Iona[/name_f]
Some names of Greek origin eg [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Hebe[/name_f], [name_f]Ione[/name_f]
Some of them cross categories of course.

Hm. As an American, the only names I canât think that seem super [name_f]British[/name_f] are [name_f]Millie[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f]. Others I might say feel kinda [name_f]British[/name_f] have long histories in the states too, and on my American family members (like [name_f]Marianne[/name_f], [name_f]Tilly[/name_f], [name_f]Nan[/name_f], [name_u]Florence[/name_u], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], etc).
