I am finding myself drawn towards plain names again.
I am currently considering

Mary
Jean
Anne

What do you think - do you know many under 5, aer they going to get very popular?

What other plain names could I like?

I feel under pressure to come up with something a bit different, but I am liking these instead!
We like Joan, but it is too close to dh's name

Is it a girl you're having? I also like Susan and Helen.

I have two DSs with mega plain names, and we are thinking about Mary for no3 if she's a girl.

DS1 is 5 and his name, though v v popular in the past, is still the only child we know with the name. I don't know any Marys Joans Jeans or Annes under the age of about 60.
