I already have two daughters and we’re having a third child… after unique, not common names :)

My name is rare now, very common in the60s. Anyone in the family you would like to name the child after. How about a season, Winter for example, or a month - Spring or Augustus, Flowers - take your pick, literally. I like Cyd for a girl, or Genievere, Cordelia or Annabeth. Or maybe Jean / Gene?

We have a Wynter & Summer in the family. I do quite like 'Cyd' now you've said it :)

I would imagine names like Patricia and Rosemary and Helen and Mary would be pretty rare for babies being born now.

With added bonus people know how to pronounce and spell them.

My partners late aunties name was Patricia, so we have used that in our daughters middle name :) and Helen and Marie are quite popular here x

What kind of names do you like?

I'm not sure - really struggling...
I believe we may have another girl, but I could be wrong.

The only names I really like at the moment are Hudson. Hunter. Francis.
