Favourite old fashioned girls names?

We’re not finding out the gender of our first baby, we have a boy name picked but struggling for a girl! My partner likes Florence which I do really like but I don’t have my heart set on it! I really like old fashioned names, does anyone have any suggestions?☺️

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Look in the thread to name the puppy.....gotta be careful perhaps that you don't find your daughter has the same name as several dogs....though you may not mind too much if in later years you take your daughter to the park call her to go home and some dogs come running!

Erm the likes of Emily and Lucy aren't old lady names! They are classics and never lost popularity! Yes to Ada, Nora and Iris, but they have had their comebacks.

Emily

Oh, and you can shorten Florence to Florrie which I think is pretty. Have also heard the name Dilly which I think is pretty.

My little girl is a Delilah but goes by Dilly 🙂
