[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: British names: Torquil?!? and Diana Wynne Jones

[Pinguthegreek]

It is not a 'common' name in the UK.
I can tell you that though I have lived in England all my life, the
only place I have ever met anyone called Torquil is in the pages of
bad novels. Are you writing a fic that requires a well-bred yet
ignorant toff, ahem, I mean young scion of a noble house, that has
fallen on poor times, perchance? In that case, Torquil is your man.
Especially if your fic is set in the early years of the 20th century.

ME : 

I think it is an upperclass name which comes from Roman times.
