Greythorne - my ds2 is called Philip! Is it really that unusual? I thought it was a strong classic.

On holiday in Austria this summer we met a lot of little Pauls (pronounced to rhyme with Owl). Seems to be popular in German speaking countries.

I think Carl is coming back too.

Paul and Pauline are both popular where I live (but to be fair, we're not ^in the UK). Oh, as is Fanny.

I like Hester and Agnes and Jocelyn.

What about Janine, Judith, Karen, Sylvia, Russell, Annette, Paulette, Adrian, Eric, Sandra, Philip, Frank?

Oh dear, I love Hilda too, was on our list for a girl but we had ds's. Can't suggest names as always feel I'm going to offend. Waiting for my other name choices to come up on the thread now...
