I want old fashion and/or unusual.

August - B
Aubrey - G
Margot - G
Viviene - G
Kit - B
Perry- B

However, I'm still very undecided and atikk searching for a name that makes me thing "oh I love that!" So far I'm more "mm not bad, I'll put it down"

Hit me with the golden oldies! .. and odd ones!

@cherylberyls thank you!
I do love Vivienne/Viviene. However I spelt it. I like shortening names and I like Viv.

However, my SIL, Gran and Mum all gave me a side eye and I'm sure I saw my mum gag when I said it.. still a possibility though as I'm not one to be persuaded by others opinions lol.

I only know girl Aubrey's. in fact I know about four under 3 years old. Think there was another thread on it where people were also being ignorant about the name. As someone suggested there it's the older posters who don't seem to be up to date with the name trends....

I do love Vivienne though!

Does Viviene need to have two N's? I sont really like the look with an extra N.. Haha.

I think Aubrey was originally a boys name, but is now unisex. Still on my girls list and wont be convinced otherwise.

I like dorothea... would be nice shortened to Dotty?
