I know one baby Elizabeth.

I have Rebecca on my list for a potential dd2.

I really dont like Victoria as I am yet to neet a nice one.

feelingvunerable · 27/10/2013 10:11

All 3 are lovely names.
I think Victoria is the least common.

toobreathless · 27/10/2013 01:35

Two young Elizabeth's one aged 4, one a few weeks old.

No Rebeccas or Victorias

I don't know anyone under 18 with any of these names. I know a Betsy and an Elsie but am pretty sure it's just Betsy and Elsie and they are not Elizabeths. We used Elizabeth as DD's middle name and I wish I had saved it for a dd2.

DeputyDeputyChiefOfStaff · 26/10/2013 22:10

I know three young Elizabeths, and several Rebecca/Rebekahs. No Victorias though.

beanandspud · 26/10/2013 21:05

I know a couple of Elizabeths (one known as Beth). If DS had been a DD she would have been Rebecca.

mewkins · 25/10/2013 22:13

I have a 3yo Elizabeth. Know only one other who is 2yo and goes by a different shortening. I don't know any Victoria's under 30 and no Rebecca's under 40!

NachoAddict · 25/10/2013 22:07

Dsd is an Elizabeth nn Ellie, Elizabeth is a beautiful name, I wouldn't have chosen that shortening because it is a very popular name here.

SecretWitch · 25/10/2013 21:09

Victoria is a well loved family name. Several relatives young and old have the name.

nevergoogle · 25/10/2013 21:09

i know 3 sisters called this, but not babies.

NewbieMcNewbie · 25/10/2013 21:07

I know a three year old Victoria but she's Polish and I think the spelling f is different.

I know lots with Elizabeth as their middle name, usually where it was the mother's mn too.

The youngest Rebecca I know is 8.

Mim78 · 25/10/2013 09:25

I know a baby Elizabeth known as Betsie. It is a lovely name IMO.

They are all nice classy names. I know a little Charlotte too and it really stands out as a classic name and not one of the Tilly, Lilly, Milly brigade.

noodlebum · 25/10/2013 09:18

I don't know any below the age of 21!

CruCru · 25/10/2013 09:12

I know a few Elizabeths.

kelda · 25/10/2013 06:48

I know children under the age of five with all those names but they are not especially common.

Lubiloo · 25/10/2013 06:44

I too know 2 little Elisabeths so it seems fairly common.
I only know a 5 year old Rebecca.
Love Victoria and don't know any little ones.
The best objective measure of popularity is the government ons list of the past years girls names.

Confitdecanard · 25/10/2013 05:09

I know a few Elizabeths too. Mostly go by a nickname (Lizzie, Beth). None of the other two.

emmyloo2 · 25/10/2013 04:43

I know of one Rebecca who is 2. I know quite a few baby Elizabeths and my own 5 month old is Victoria. We were really torn between Elizabeth and Victoria at one point and went with Victoria because I didn't know any young Victorias whereas I know quite a few Elizabeths under 2.

I do love Elizabeth though.

magicscares · 24/10/2013 23:21

I know of a toddler Elizabeth.

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 24/10/2013 23:18

I had a baby Elizabeth. She is now a beautiful six year old Elizabeth. Smile

She has a friend called Rebecca.

hoppinghare · 24/10/2013 23:05

I have a baby Elizabeth. I don't know any baby Rebecca's or baby victorias but I do know 2 reception age Rebecca's.

Bunbaker · 24/10/2013 23:04

I don't know any babies with those names, but they are lovely names. One of them is my daughter's middle name, one is the name of one of her friends and one is the name of a controlling bully at her school.

I don't get this MN obsession with nicknames though.

hellyfucker · 24/10/2013 23:04

I know two 8 year old Rebeccas (it has always been slightly more popular in Wales than England, although one of the ones I know is English) And one 13 year old Libby.

Iwaswatchingthat · 24/10/2013 23:03

Oh and I know several young Elizabeths, but not a single Victoria.

AryaofhouseSnark · 24/10/2013 23:03

I know and Elizabeth and a Rebecca. Both lovely names with good nn too.
