《唐顿庄园》中的角色名字日渐流行
Thousands of parents are naming their babies after Downton Abbey characters, new figures have revealed.
最新数据显示，成千上万的父母开始用英剧《唐顿庄园》中角色的名字为孩子取名。
The TV show's huge popularity has inspired a resurgence of 1920s fashion and hairstyles, and now the old-fashioned names of its characters are also back in vogue.
Edith, Cora, Sybil and Elsie are all soaring in popularity among new parents.
But when the show began in 2010, the monikers were in danger of dwindling into obscurity.
It is now just finished its fifth season running on Sunday night attracting around eight million viewers per episode.
Violet, the first name of the matriarchal Dowager Countess of Grantham played by Dame Maggie Smith, has seen a particularly large comeback after it made the top 100 girls' names for 2013.
Spiralling from 466 girls in 2010 to 709 last year, it has jumped in the national rankings from 123rd to 78th.
And highest of all was Elsie, the Christian name of housekeeper Mrs Hughes, which has rocketed into the thousands in just five years. Nearly 1,200 babies took the name last year compared to 535 in 2010.
