Sweet Old Fashioned Girls Names

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions for any sweet old fashioned name for a little girl?

We are trying to get some ideas for names for our baby girl due late November.

Thanks! 🤩❤️

Mary :)

I also like Francesca and Margot.

I really like the name Melissa. She was a nymph in Greek mythology, and the name means honey bee.

Elsie or Lottie! Very pretty sounding names.

Another vote for Melissa. It's not old-fashioned though.
