I love traditional girls' names. Which could I get away with using?

DC2 on the way and it's a possible girl :)

My shortlist is:

Annabel
Elizabeth
Lucilla
Lucinda

According to my mum we are not posh enough to use Lucinda (thanks mum!). Which do you like best from that list?

Can't go wrong with Elizabeth.

Traditional, classy and if you wanted a nn, plenty to choose from.

Lucilla seems made up and a bit "Godzilla"! (sorry)

Annabel and Elizabeth are both lovely. Lucinda is okay but the similarity to Linda puts me off and makes me think it is a bit "dumpy" (again, sorry to any Lindas...) I love just Lucy.

I like them all except Lucilla.
Lucinda isnt posh [Mrs Next-door's d-i-l is Lucinda and very unposh].Annabel is gorgeous with lots of lovely nn's.

I also like Felicity but not quite as much as the other 4.

If DS had been a DD then he would have been Annabel Lucy. Annabel is still a favourite but we don't want to use it just because it was top of the list last time.

I like Annabel best, then Elizabeth. Prefer Lucy or Lucia to Lucinda/Lucilla.
