Suggest shabby chic/country style names!!

[YummyMummybee]

Hi
Can you suggest some shabby chic/vintagy/english country style names for both boy/girl!! I think the most common names I get when I google this are
Rose, Poppy, Milly, Daisy, Lily, Maisy etc.
I do love all these cute shabby chic names but can you suggest some more & also for boys.
Its hard to describe what I want & I saw the term shabby chic to describe the above in another name thread & thats along the lines we are thinking!!

Plum is very cute!!! Names do not need to be well-to-do just cute/quirky & were once old & have had a bit of a revival eg. Daisy, Millie, Rose, Poppy etc that type of thing. I know those names are very common at the moment but we do love them. Its finding a boy alternative is fairly difficult really like Oscar, Charlie & Harry...

You're not just naming a baby; you're naming a person who'll be an adult much longer than they're a child.

'Cute' isn't really top of the criteria list for most grown men and women. Just saying.

Also, the more popular a name is, the more it will date.

Plum is probably actually called Victoria. I know a couple of well to do little girls known as plum but they are both Victoria really.

(have nothing more useful to add, still reeling from the idea of a shabby chic name)

I used to know a boy called Dickon which I always thought was a very 'countryside' type of name, I think he's changed it now he's in his 20's though! #unhelpful

Albie - Albert
Alfie - Alfred
Archie - Archibald

Bridget
Gertrude - Trudy
Josephine
Christine - Nina
Margaret.
Patricia

Any names common in the early 1900's.

Christella - ella/chrissie
Agatha - Aggie

Eric
Rae
Barrett
Winston
Beckett
Quincy

Sorry but Christella just reminds me of Chlorella which after reading Wild Swans is not a name I would choose.

Not to my liking but thaddeus for a boy and india for a girl or christabel which i do like and how about zillah?

Thanks for the suggestions I had actually posted about India before as I love it & its my favourite girls name but we 90% decided if its a dd to name after my mum Mary but its definitly on the list for the any possible future dd's please God. Mollydoggerson Trudy is adorable & yes your right it is 1900's style names I like:0

Annie

Your username speaks volumes, sorry.

How about;
Peggy
Kitty
Flossie
Florrie
Violet
Viola
Sadie
Betty
Bea

My girls names are up there ^ somewhere.

Will be watching this thread with interest as I'm pregnant with dc3 due in 9 weeks & I strongly suspect a boy this time & I'm stumped for names.

Percyfilth, no need to be so personal.

This thread is making me snort tea!

OP, given that you really do seem to want these sorts of rural, countryish names (and are not just providing us with innocent enjoyment on a monday), then what about a trawl through 19th century rural English literature. From my dusty memory (and whatever I can reach from the bookcase next to me without getting up because of the sleeping toddler on my lap):

Eustacia
Dorothea
Dorcas (ok, that's Shakespeare)
Tess
Fanny
Pegotty
Zillah
Prue or Prudence
Arrietty (ok, I've run out of Lit now and am moving on to children's classics)

Gabriel
Florizel
Clym
Seth
Reuben
Jem
Jonah
Diggory
Kester
Gideon (nice name, unfortunate association with the current Chancellor of the Exchequer)

um...

For boys: Joe, Sam, Will, Jack, George, Harry,

for Girls: Laura, Mary, Amy, Lizzie, Josie.

Aw thanks a million Percy-you have made my day!!:) My husband says to say he most definitly agrees with you:o

Mummys littlesunbeams thanks so much for the suggestions-boys names are so tough, out of your list I love Violet!
Reshape love Gabriel & Reuben
Treesprite-George & Harry are already on my list and whilst I adore Mary my husband thinks his own mum might be put out if we directly name baby after my mom so we are going with Molly instead, feel its the more diplomatic option!

As a fellow Irishperson (in Ireland) I did not want an irish name either, we went with a quite "English" name and a very trendy one at that, however we picked it for a DD 20 years ago and decided not to change just because it is very current. We still love it even though it is trendy.

I think Molly is lovely, and I think I only actually know one child called Molly, and we know loads of kids.
When is your baby due? Would you not go and find out the sex and put yourself out of your misery?? :)

Molly Malone?

recommend the character list from 'Cold Comfort Farm' would probably turn something up for you.

3boys-did you still go with Florence in the end I remember you posting about it, if you did its gorgeous & still so uncommon over here. Babs due the middle of April, we were told at the 20 week scan that the baby was more than likely a girl but they wouldn't commit & we didn't bother getting it confirmed since. We don't mind either way & have bought all neutrals just enough to get us by the first couple of weeks-then I can hit the shops:o
Re Molly I know its no 31 on the cso top 100 but I don't know any family or friends with one & like you we know lots of kids. Even if there was more it wouldn't bother me! We just want to have our boys name picked just in case it is a little blue bundle-its down to George, Oscar or Harry all fairly common in Ireland now especially Oscar-its rising rapidly!!!

& Charlie forgot about Charlie!!!!
