Something like Martha which I love but can't use.

Any ideas?

I really like Elspeth.

I love martha but cant use it either (also just found out it's a boy so ...)

My girls shortlist was:

Phoebe
Isla (I'm Scottish and always loved this name, not jumping on the bandwagon :o )
Isobel

Good luck!

We have an Annie, it is just the best name ever! Saw the thread title and knew you'd like it but someone beat me to it!

Abigail

DH didn't like it for DD but I think it's pretty but sensible. And Abby didn't go with our surname Sad

Barbara

We've just called DD2 Rose, I love it. So not the name I would have picked before but she got to a week old and DH and I couldn't agree!
I think it is simple, pretty and rarely used except for a middle name atm.

DrSeuss · 29/11/2010 16:34

Elizabeth/Catherine/Helen/Charlotte/Alice/Rose.
As you can tell, I go for classic names.

I like Flora but always think of poor girl at school who got badly teased - called 'Marge' and told she 'spreads easily'. So beware of people being cruel..
