I would go more traditional with
Emily
Charlotte
Beatrice
Ada
I do like Grace & Alice from your list. Esme isn’t my most favourite but I do know two and they are both lovely children.

maddiemookins16mum · 07/10/2023 15:24

All lovely.

If I had my time again, I’d choose from at least 5 of those names (plus Esther).

I have a Hannah and I love it. It's just beautiful. I also love Alice and Lucy.

They’re all great👍

Tootyfilou · 05/10/2023 16:37

I love the name Kate .

Marylaurence · 05/10/2023 16:34

Esme and Grace are lovely.

Marylaurence · 05/10/2023 16:33

Yes!

KillswitchEngage · 05/10/2023 16:23

I have a Hannah and it’s a very lovely name, not too old, not too young just classic. I have a sister Hannah and a few friends too and I can honestly say I don’t know a bad Hannah. I’m blessed to be surrounded by them.

Daffodilwoman · 05/10/2023 12:32

Anna is my favourite.

ProfSleepzz · 04/10/2023 23:26

My best friend is called Anna and she is lovely!

PickledScrump · 04/10/2023 21:03

Love Alice, Anna is nice too. I don’t like the others

scubagoose · 04/10/2023 21:02

My daughter (20) is Grace and if my son had been a girl he would have been Alice.think the names go so well together.. I. Also Lucy so am loving your list 🤣

TeenLifeMum · 04/10/2023 19:29

My favourite classic girl’s names:

Lydia
Victoria
Elizabeth
Kitty
Matilda
Alice
Heidi
Meredith

theduchessofspork · 04/10/2023 19:24

Katherine (and variations) is also nice and less used than the others right now

theduchessofspork · 04/10/2023 19:23

They are all nice and popular - I’d skip Esme as it isn’t a UK classic, so will date

Hannah is probably the least used right now - I’d go for that or Anna. If she ends up wanting something less common she can go for Nancy or Nina as a diminutive.

Blingstar · 04/10/2023 19:23

Like all your name choices. Great list. Also like Ivy and Daisy.

Kitkat49 · 04/10/2023 19:20

My daughter is Anna, so that’s my favourite ❤️

Kattitude · 04/10/2023 16:40

Lovely names, suitable for both a child and adult, classic without being dated or “trendy”.

BrettAndersonsCheekbones2 · 04/10/2023 14:39

These names are all rather twee. How about Alexandra, Victoria, Judith, Hester, Susannah, Deborah, Elizabeth?

KirstenBlest · 04/10/2023 14:36

Anna is nowhere near as popular as I thought.
It does fall into the Anne, Annie, Hannah, Annabel, Anneli, Annalise ... type names though.

I really like Ann, but not as a middle name.
