Since it is similar to Martha I thought I would mention I love the name Margot but DH didn't .

I know a fair few Olivias Daisys and Poppys (one of my DDs is one of those). If you did really like one of those then I would go for it (just had this conversation on a boys name thread of my own). I remember not long ago when nearly all little girls seemed to be called Lily, now I don't know any

Some nice suggestions on here though

My two favourite names for girls at the moment are:-

Mariska
Camryn

Hope that helps and doesn't confuse more!

Eliza2 · 25/01/2008 20:46

Eloise
Hermione
Venetia
Claudia
Esme
Isabelle
Penelope

SASKIA is a beautiful name; the Saskia I knew at school was completely gorgeous and talented.

Hulababy · 25/01/2008 20:42

I love all of them.

I think all but Martha are probably in the top 100, and Martha is being more popular. However, from those 4 in RL I actually only know 2 Olivias, and none of the others.

Freya v popular now, seems that every baby not called Sophie is a Freya!

Botbot · 25/01/2008 14:33

My dd is a Sorrel.

Flowery but sensible-sounding, I thought. I've never met another.

JossStick · 25/01/2008 14:24

I love Constance too.
Esmerelda (Esme)
Elfreda (Freddie) - quite cute for a girl.

hertsnessex · 25/01/2008 14:03

Karen999 · 25/01/2008 14:03

My dd2 is Freya....Norse Goddess of Love and also where the word Friday comes from...made sense to call her that as she was born on a Friday!

hertsnessex · 25/01/2008 14:02

a client recently called her DD martha - really suited her.

VictorianSqualor · 25/01/2008 14:01

Just read the OP, I'd say they were all quite popular names, especially poppy and daisy, I know loads of them, I dont know any martha's and I know a few Olivias.

Annis
Niamh and Martha

belgo · 25/01/2008 13:45

Prefer Martha to any of the others.

Alishanty · 25/01/2008 13:42

They are all nice names but I prefer Martha the most. Definitely not as common as the others.
If I have a girl I am thinking of Esme.

ladette · 24/01/2008 23:07

Elisa is the nicest name I've come across recently and would consider if I ever had another DD. It's a bit unusual but still normal IYSWIM.

luciemule · 24/01/2008 22:59

Martha is lovely - could be quite popular this year because of girl in Dr Who.

I like

Kitty
Elizabeth
Molly
Orla
Ophelia

Evangeline could also be popluar (Evangeline Lily - LOST).

mrsruffallo · 24/01/2008 22:49

I know a Marta, but she always gets called marta sauce

ingles2 · 24/01/2008 22:45

Ooo thanks trolley dolly, I've got one of those classy names!
I like
Evie / Eva
Esme
Cleo spelt with an e (or it reminds me of a renault)
Nina
Nell
Briony
Ebony

theslownorris · 24/01/2008 22:40

Catriona's an excellent name (As long as you pronounce it "Catrina" )
This is a good website if you're searching for names of a certain origin.
The names in the OP are nice but maybe not if you want something a little different.

Right - I have decided - I am going to be called Cariad Martha! I have lost the thread here havent I? So glad my FIL liked me and Cariad didnt mean 'you are a pain in the butt' He also used to sing Sosphan Vach (excuse the rubbish spelling) even tho he didnt speak welsh. I will change shabster to Cariad Martha - and I will always say it in a south welsh accent - theres lovely xx
