Need a pretty but down to earth girls name...

[alittleteapot]

Something like Martha which I love but can't use.

Any ideas?

Nina
Lara
Erin
Seren
May

Elizabeth/Catherine/Helen/Charlotte/Alice/Rose.
As you can tell, I go for classic names.

We've just called DD2 Rose, I love it. So not the name I would have picked before but she got to a week old and DH and I couldn't agree!
I think it is simple, pretty and rarely used except for a middle name atm.

Barbara

Jane - pretty and down to earth

Lilian
Valerie
Sarah
Marian / Marianne

Abigail

DH didn't like it for DD but I think it's pretty but sensible. And Abby didn't go with our surname

Tess

Lucy
Mary
Anna
Jane
Eleanor
Marian
Rosa
Harriet
Elsa
Alice

I really like Hester, btw. Lovely name.

I like Kimberley

I love Rita. And Hester.

Mabel
Laurel
Marit
Estelle
Zoe
Leonie
Delia
Avery
Arden

We have an Annie, it is just the best name ever! Saw the thread title and knew you'd like it but someone beat me to it!

Thanks all, some great names here.

Please let us know if you choose a name from the list.

[My suggestions - hand up very high]

Please do not just 'go away' and we never find out.

Just to remind you;

May
Agnes
Maud
Nancy
Mary
Roberta
Laura
Caroline
Claire
Naomi
Anna
Emma
Ellen
Audrey

I love martha but cant use it either (also just found out it's a boy so ...)

My girls shortlist was:

Phoebe
Isla (I'm Scottish and always loved this name, not jumping on the bandwagon :o )
Isobel

Good luck!

I really like Elspeth.

Ruth
Beth
Hannah
Anna
Miriam

Oh I love Martha!

I also love; Anna, Matilda, Juliet, Alice.

p.s. I love Martha too, and we can't use it either because of our surname!

Greta?
Karin?
Heidi?
Lottie?
Natasha?

Francesca
Juliana
Alicia
Isabella
Louisa
Serena
Jocelyn
Lucia

I also like Lois. Is it too similar to Lola (which is very popular round our way)

I love Martha but couldn't use it due to our surname so I'm guessing you have similar taste to me - our shortlist for DD2 was:

Meredith
Tess
Eliza
Josephine (Josie)
Imogen
Sylvie
Rebecca

In the end we went for Meredith, shortened to Merry (very seasonal atm!)

We also have a Polly Jean, feel free to use that too!

Does anyone else find it pleasing that Putthekettleon and alittleteapot have similar tastes in girls' names also?
