Thoughts on Kathleen?

I know it's a very Enid Blyton type of name.

It's from that era that is old lady, but not so old lady that it's 'old lady chic'.

It goes with Linda, Carol, Maureen, Pauline, Denise.

But you could start a trend....they could be the new Agnes, Ethel, Maud type names.

I don't like it though. It just screams 'dinner lady' to me!

Please don't. It's awful. Really.

It's lovely

I love this name. My DH was against it, but I would have gone for it in a heartbeat!

I used to imagine it as a very old name, but I saw a baby "Kathy" on Instagram recently so perhaps it's ready for a resurgence!
