We have a really common surname boring!

I need some baby girl names. I don't know why but I love old fashioned names. Any name suggestions be great.

My son is called Theo Taylor.

I love
Elizabeth
Charlotte
Amelia
Arabella
Sofia
Rosalie (Rosa)

You could choose Fleur (French for Flower) And maybe she will grow up to be la plus belle fleur du jardin.

I like Jennifer 😉

Yes, I was going to come on and caution strongly against Jenny Taylor, funny as it is in theory!

I like Violet. Of your choices they are all nice but I like Rosalie best. And Rosamund is nice too.

HugoYorway · 23/05/2025 11:11

I forgot Layla!.

Elizabeth- the actress
Charlotte - sounds like Sharlatayla
Amelia - I don't like it
Arabella - too frilly, will be Bella.
Sofia- nice but so overused. I prefer Sophia spelling.
Rosalie (Rosa) - Rosa is nice. Not keen on Rosalie.

Jennifer
Swift
Kayla

Elizabeth's middle name was Rosemond.

Rosamund Taylor sounds nice.

And Layla?

I like Jennifer 😉

That's a rather difficult list, OP.

Elizabeth Taylor sounds by far the best but it's already kind of "taken" by someone very famous!

Charlotte Taylor doesn't flow very well because you've got the TT sound.

Amelia Taylor and Arabella Taylor both sound like a bit of a mouthful with all the repeated Ls.

I do like Rosa, and would consider also Rosalind or Rosamund as alternatives to Rosalie.

Sofia is also nice.

It sounds like you're going for a classic, elegant vibe.

Some other suggestions:

Josephine Taylor
Grace Taylor
Anna/Annabel Taylor
Katherine Taylor
Marianne Taylor
Rebecca Taylor
Penelope Taylor
Evelyn Taylor
Madeleine Taylor
Zara Taylor
Vanessa Taylor
Diana Taylor

Rosamund Taylor sounds nice.

Elizabeth Taylor is a famous actress so I would avoid that.

Similar options:
Evelyn
Elle
Eliza
Elspeth
Isobel/Isabelle
Eleanor
Alice
Catherine/Katherine
Rebecca
Anna
Emily

KnickerFolder · 23/05/2025 10:38

Not Elizabeth Taylor! Although you might like her middle name, Rosemund.

Annabel, Isadora and Felicity might suit your taste.

Whiteflowerscreed · 23/05/2025 10:36

I peronsally wouldn’t go for Elizabeth Taylor.

how about:

Hazel
Leonora
Eleanor
Edith
Cecelia

Forgottenmyphone · 23/05/2025 10:34

Cecily
Imogen
Harriet
Madeleine
Eloise
Penelope
