Not asking for much am I!
I'm due in 4 weeks and still have no name for dd.
Ds has a traditional but not popular name which I love but can't find the same for a girl.

This weeks faves are: Emma and Elizabeth
Last weeks: Mary and Rose
Week before: Juliet and Julia

Emma and Elizabeth are abit too common place though now. I don't want anything too out there either!

Any suggestions???

Hi

Claire ??

HerHonesty · 30/03/2010 12:22

amilie/amalia/amelia are terribly used (sorry if i use word common will prob get shouted at) so if you were looking for non popular names would avoid.

bargainhuntingbetty · 30/03/2010 11:34

Amilie (not sure if that is how you spell it AM-EL-EE). It is lovely but not very common.

Libby??

Grace??

Ailsa??

Beth??

Cant think of any more.

Elizabeth is still way down on the list of popular names, and I like that the best.

Mary is lovely and very unusual still at the moment.

Esme is great

PuppyMonkey · 27/03/2010 08:56

Madeleine
Esme

BridesheadRegardless · 27/03/2010 08:53

Louisa is lovely too.

BridesheadRegardless · 27/03/2010 08:51

Helena

or

Susannah

or

Claudia.

Elizabeth is my favourite though.

bellissima · 27/03/2010 08:26

Okay, if Thora and Gilda can be submitted then I'm going to say that I'm rather liking Linda at the moment.

And Pamela (but not Pam).
