Am just going to reiterate my turn of the (19th/20th) century favourites! Have come across all of them recently, but they're not commonplace.

Stanley
Lenny
Rose

MyNameIsKenAdams · 26/02/2014 13:15

Like Stanley! I know a one yo Rose who is a weekly visitor so cant have that.

Lenny just makes me think of Lenny Henry, sorry

ShiftyEyes · 27/02/2014 08:16

My favourites out for your most recent list are Nell or Louis.

Suggestions for a girl - Etta or perhaps Anne if Anna doesn't work.
Suggestions for a boy - Jem or Tom
