A 'shabby chic ' baby name ?????

I've officially heard it all now.

Crap. I see from a google search that I inadvertent named 2/3 of our dc shabbily. Can I claim ignorance since they were born in 03 and 07 or am I just way ahead of the pack? Our DS born 11 does not have a shabby name.

Violet

Nancy

whoops - sorry, i see that math has already suggusted Edmund. good name though.

Heather

Martha

Clementine

Clementine

Madame Messy I am not going for an Irish name as both me and hubby have them & its so frustrating having them mis-pronounced/spelt incorrectly. Its not through peoples ingnorance or rudeness its just the way they look on paper & the way the are pronounced are completely different.
We find it amusing at the same time but always said we would give our dc a simple, universal, easy to spell name hence why I love cutey style names.
If my understanding is correct I am actually a little behind the trends as now the names like Florence, Maud etc are in vogue.
I'm not trying to be trendy I just know what style me and my hubby like:) We don't care about a names ranking in the CSO lists etc...

Math Anxiety-I love Molly(its actually our no 1 name at the moment still, I was wondering would it get suggested) its totally common & in Ireland too but we love it.
Kitty & Pearl are fab too.
I'm finding the boys names very hard-we love both Harrison(Harry) or Oscar & another poster suggested George which is v cute!
Loving Violet too basking seals, Heather & Martha are gorgeous, hubby does not like Clementine:(

Mary.

Harriet

I must say I really love Oscar and I remember reading older Irish children's books (maybe by Patricia Lynch) with characters named Standish, Oscar, etc. Oscar is a name that is easily pronounceable anywhere you go, and used on the Continent afaik (maybe spelled Oskar, as in Schindler).

Harrison I see as more of an American type name, maybe American of Ulster or Scottish descent. Also I think of Harrison Ford. Harry is nice though.

Maybe steer clear of Albert right now in Ireland...

"shabby chic is that code for wanky middle class"

It's one lifestyle and decorating aesthetics. The middle-classes have zillions of them

aesthetic

"Shabby chic" is a marketing term invented to sell any tatty old rubbish to the gullible. Harry Enfield captured this in

St. John (pronounced Sinjun)

Percy-I love Mary thats why Molly is our frontrunner as its after my mom. Love Mary in its own right but hubby feels his mom would be a bit put-out if we would so obviously named our child after my mom-he feels she will accept Molly a bit better,another poster suggested Mariella to me a couple of weeks ago too & its on the list as its very cute!!!!
Thanks Math-I do love Oscar & it is a classic, universal easy to spell & pronounce!! I do like Harry but this Oscar may go better with our surname. Harrison may be a little too surnamey for us...
Lol re Albert-I cannot picture many baby Albert's in our shores over the coming years lol!!! Pity as Bertie is such a cute nn:)

Elfie
Mae
Iris
Esme
Brackurn
Ferne
Posy
Betsy
Betty

Ned
Sidney (sid)
Bertie
Arlo
Phinn
Basil
Charlie
Archie
Freddie
Percy
Jimmy
Stanley

I think so Silkie Chicken-it was our one name from the offset & I keep chopping & changing!! I do love it, I know there are thousands of little Molly's both in the UK & its very popular over here in Ireland too but we don't mind its so cute...
Finding boys names harder as we do like a certain type of name hence my not very good description in the post title:) But Oscar seems to be in the lead at the moment. Again getting very popular over here in Ireland too but we don't mind as its cute, universal & we love it!

Thanks for the suggestions sausage- love Posy & Betty. We are nearly decided on Molly but boys are proving more difficult.
Bertie is super cute but as Math Anxiety posted above it would not be too popular here in Ireland at the moment due to our disgraced former prime-minister Bertie Ahern but on the other hand there would be no other Bertie's around for many many years to come:o Love Charlie it is on the list.

If you like Bertie, what about Herbie (my son's name) it's got a similar feel to it and both originate from Herbert.

my dad has had two morgan cars - he's called dave

hth

I've met a very well to do little girl called

Plum

Is that the sort of thing you're after?
