My OH has come up with this name...it has some significance, my beloved nans name, and due date happens to be her birthday, however I don't know if I like it or not...some days I think it's lovely other days I think eeurgh!

Not helped by the fact we have chosen an amazing boys name that I love, so don't want to have any regrets with girls name.

What do you think, and could you suggest any similar names? Please be gentle and kind, don't want to read any nasty responses, too emotional for that! Haha

Nice for a middle name, boring for a first sorry

Well i quite like it. I havent heard of any others. Not sureif it is due a revival or not. Like so many other older fashioned names have done. But i was actually wondering thw other day if it might become popular again soon. I think it would be cute.

I love it. It's one of my top picks for a girl. But if you don't love it, don't use it. It makes a great middle name if you want to keep it for the significance.

Would Jane be too obvious a suggestion?
