I know it's been done before but I'd like an update of which are the most popular (that you would actually use, or have used) just girls at the mo...

I don't know whether it really classes as an old lady name but mine is Ella.

It was my late Grandma's name.

well was she old? if the naem was used before the 1940's that must be old - mustn't it?

my great great aunt was Ella and she had sisters bertha, constance, Elizabeth, Ann,

ahvn't ofund all her sisters but I know there were 9

theagedparent - What reaction do you get to Dulcie? Really considering it for dc2 if its a girl

I have always had very positive reactions to Dulcie! Lots of people comment on how lovely it is.

My granny's names are Ruth and Aline Ursula. Not keen on any of those I'm afraid!

I really like the names Iris, Florence and Betsy.

My grandmothers are: Jean (always called Bunty though) and Clarisse.

Had a long list of these when I was PG with DD.

Phoebe (which we used)
Laurie - my Grandma's auntie
Kitty - a lovely lady my Grandma used to look after when I was very little
Marianne - what my Grandma was supposed to be called
Elsie - another lady my Grandma used to look after

Would consider all of them again (except Phoebe obviously) if I ever have another DD

Martha - if it is an old lady name
