Two hundred years ago, 50% of boy babies in England were named William, John or Thomas, and 50% of girl babies were named Elizabeth, Mary or Anne. Some of these names are still popular(流行的), but other names are popular, too. Today, parents sometimes give their babies the names of famous athletes(运动员), film stars, characters from literature or TV shows.
