We just can't decide on a girls name! I like traditional/old and slightly unusual/quirky.

Hi, we've have a little girl called Lucy and if we have a boy, he'll be Oliver. We've loved that name forever!
We just can't decide on a girls name. There are so many we like, but none of them really stand out as our favourate. Here is our list.

Amelia
Tabitha
Bryony- (this is step sisters name, but we hardlyever see each other)
Lavinia- (not sure)
Seren
Cora

Emily
Grace- (DH likes more than me)
Merryn- (we like but none of the family do) Sad

If you can think of any along these lines please let me know, and please be honest about my list of choices. Smile
I like names that can be shortened to something nice too.

Thank you. Smile I'm happy with it. I'm sure MIL will warm to it, eventually. My mum loves it! My dad couldn't care less, bless him. Grin

I know a
Lucy and Cerys
Lucy and Ophelia

I have a 4 year old Oliver love it but it is just SO popular wished I gone for something else at times, getting bored of hearing it everywhere.

I know what yo mean. Olivia used to be very unusual but it's quite popular now. Still lovely though. I know 2 Olivias and they are both gorgeous both in looks and personality.
I get fed up of hearing people calling their dogs Lucy. (How bloody dare they!!) Grin

Grace is a beautiful name, not sure about Tabitha. Oliver is a lovely name - although my nephew is called Oliver and he's adorable so i might be biased!
