We're still seeking inspiration. Can you give me your absolute favourite girls name - just one - never min whether it goes with siblings or surname or is too posh or dh doesn't like it. I'd just love to know everyone's favourite. Maybe we'll be inspired.

Ophelia -dd's name

I like it when a girl is called after the month in which she was born: Augusta, Septima, April, June, Julia, Nova, Octavia etc.

RuleBritannia · 19/09/2012 15:56

Or called after virtues:

Mercy
Patience
Verity
Faith
Hope
Charity
not Chastity - too much Emmerdale there
Prudence etc

Love it, love it in all accents (UK family, US home) and love all variants, love "Tam" and "Tammy" too.
