What do you think are really typical English names given to BBC's by their parents?
Do you reckon that everyone born in the 80's will be called Kylie and Jason like the rest of the kids?

I think the Kids will be called whatever is most popular at the time. Names popular in the rest of the country must surely also be used. ie, Simon, Peter, John, Roger, Jane, Catheryn, Juliet or whatever is flavour of the moment. Im just waiting to see if anyones gonna be called Mr T. Regardless though, most people with an english name also are called by a chinese one too.

Jason(Ah) (Always use the Ah at the end-it's casual)
Michael(Ah)
David(ah)
Steven(Ah)
Tony
Peter
Josephine
Diane
May

Some people are not very original....
I'll never give my kid a typical bbc name...never!!!!
Might just call it "Ah", then everyone'll say "Ah! Ah-Ah! "
