Did your pre-1950 British creator only give you a first initial and not a full first name? - G. Lestrade, Sherlock Holmes’s frenemy from Scotland Yard (I think it’s probably George, given common names of the day, but who knows?)

Not bad, and he was a Greg in Sherlock, after all, but George would be a much more common name in Conan Doyle’s era, I think.
So I looked, and it appears you have the point. In 1885 the most popular British names for boys were: John, William, James, George, Charles, Frank, Joseph, Henry, Robert and Thomas .
