Please could you comment on my short list? We like traditional names although I'd rather she wasn't one of five in her class. If its got to be popular, and annoyingly what I like seems to be, then I'd rather it was classic popular and not fashionable popular. If that makes sense?

So it's:
Rosanna
Emmeline
Annabel
Alice
Anna
Rose
Elizabeth
Thea

Names that are too closely derived from boys names are out as DH doesn't like them. Same goes for anything totally out there.

Any comments or ideas? I have a DS called George.

Thanks!

Penelope? NN Penny is very nice too.

I like all your list, none are objectionable. Thea is lovely, and Annabel.

Ooh, lovely list! :)

Victoria?

I meant to say that my favourites from your list are:
Elizabeth
Annabel and Rose

I like Roseanna too - I've never known any but one has just started at our primary school, which is full of Isabels, Ellas, Ellies, Ruby's and Evies. Someone called her name and I thought "what a lovely name and not too 'used'". My DD has one of the names that I have listed, so I'm not slagging them off btw :o.

Thanks Smile I love Penelope, Juliet and Julianna but all are out for (family/friends) political reasons. Hadn't thought of Helena. Nice!
