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???

One of my best friends has a dd called Gilda. Had never heard of it before but really like it.

All beautiful yet underused names. You probably won't meet any others and they will all look so refreshing on the school coat pegs.
