Names that are known but not used...

[DessieLou]

I want something a little different but OH is boring traditional so I thought names in this catagory might suit. Think names like Philippa or Rachel or Sarah. I don't actually like any of these but I rather like Natalie (hate Nat though).
Hopefully you get my drift . Thanks in advance .

Natasha?

Mary? You never see little Marys any more. Natalie is lovely, especially if you're due near Christmas.

Claire
Louise
Sally
Amanda
Jenna
Lisa
Kelly
Lauren
Carina

Deborah, Belinda, Caroline, Susan, Joyce, Shirley, Ruth, Joanne, Michelle, Linda, Patricia?

Natalie is a beautiful name. Was on my short list had ds3 been a girl.

Maria, Tamara, Helen, Julia?

Watching Madmen has made me think Sally is a nice name again.

What about Francesca, Melissa, Caroline, Julia, Tessa

Err... Judith, Angela, Bridget, Naomi, Ann, Michaela, Carla

You've got the right idea with 1980's primary school atailoftwokitties! I like Maria.
