Please can you take a look at our girls shortlist and tell us what you think, this is what we've finally and definitely decided on. Just want an idea of how these will genuinely be received, and need to narrow it down.

Doris
Marjorie
Agnes
Nora
Gladys
Hilda

Old-fashioned names are having a major renaissance it would seem so for babies born now many of these names probably won't seem that unusual as they're growing up.

However each person will have there own line-in-the-sand of what's ready for a comeback and for me Doris, Marjorie, Gladys (and this was my grandmother's name so I would have loved to have used it), Hilda, Jean and Gloria should all stay firmly behind the line!
