Please help us narrow the list down, we seem to like classic/old fashioned names, can you put them in order of your favourite to least favourite?
Do you think any of these are faddy/ will quickly date? That's not what we want.
Thankyou

Eleanor
Anna
Isobel
Florence
Dorothy

Anna is lovely

Dorothy, Edith and Beatrice are very fashionable, borderline faddy, imo. Part of the trend for 'old lady' names. Anna and Isobel are the most timeless, there's Annas and Isobels of every age.

These three are my top favourites
Anna
Alice
Florence
These next three are okay
Beatrice
Isobel
Eleanor
Don't like these last two at all
Dorothy
Edith

I like Alice. Isobel, Anna and Eleanor. Not keen on the other 4 at all.
Alice is the nicest and a beautiful classic name

My favourites are
Edith
Anna
Florence

My two dds names are the first two on your list.
What about Clara? Grin
Recently, a work colleague called her dd Agnes. I wish I’d used that as we had a family friend with that name and she was lovely.

Not keen on Dorothy or Edith. Eleanor very popular here. I like the other names.

Spidey66 · 14/12/2020 08:35

Eleanor's my all time favourite girls name.

Not keen on Dorothy and Beatrice but the rest are nice.

Not so much of a fan of the last 2 names, they are obviously personal opinions
But wow congratulations 💜

Ooh, we have similar taste. Anna and Beatrice are my favourites.

Rainbowqueeen · 14/12/2020 08:32

I would consider Anna Alice and Eleanor the least faddy and also my favourites.

Not keen on Isabel, the rest are ok
