...a confident, successful young woman, what would you name her?
I have completely pinched this idea from an earlier thread about naming a baby girl who was handed to you - but it's easy to think of cute baby girl names!

Emma, Claire, Rachel, Hannah, Sarah, Catherine, Carol (I hope beyond hope), Debbie, Joanna. That's what my grown up brownies and the at university and beyond oldest siblings I can think of are called.

In the future successful confident young women will be called Alice, Charlotte, Lily, Daisy, Molly, Megan, Emily, Amelia, Isabelle, Libby, Esme and Briony.

My very own confident and successful young woman shares your view :)

Thea ;)

I do think it's great that we are all picking our girls names as that's what we can see working in the future. I won't name my youngest as that will out me. My Thea is exactly what you are looking for - a grown up name from a grown up person (sniffle how can I have a grown up?)

Eva

I know it's very popular but it's such a lovely name - so strong, attractive and womanly

Interesting! I added Felicity to my list thinking that I was considering a grown up dd, but when I think about it properly, it does seem cutesy/little girl-y.
