Wanted: girls name. Must be fabulous.

[MaureenMacnally]

Why am I pregnant again ffs? Stupid Catholic upbringing. My body will an unsalvageable wreck and we will be living in penury for the next two decades.

Anyway. Need a girls name. I am utterly devoid of inspiration, being interested only in grab bags of Skips and having naps.

Already have an Agnes and an Enid. Surname Stephens.

Dislike: frilliness; 'ah' endings; 'classic' names.

Like: fabulous names. I was keen on Ramona the last go-round, but think I might have lost my love for it.

Any suggestions?

Frederica?

Helga

Or, Hedda

really like that.

You could do some good mash-ups here

Verog
Irete
Helerie
Fruge
Gloriot

Hard as nails, every one of them.

sylvanian they're a bit Tolkien-esque.

OP you need to shunt Vera to second place and put Vita at the top.

There will be gazillions of Vera's soon - I know two born this year.

But Vita? THAT'S a fabulous name.

Ankaret. Old English version of Angharad. There was an Ankaret Le Strange in middle ages - always thought was a fabulous name.

Other random names:

Jehane

Fabiola

Berengaria

Tess

Karen
Gail
Paula
Marie
Pamela
Hazel
Jill
Brenda
Elaine
Muriel
Sandra
Gillian
Linda
Wendy
Alison
Laurel
Blanche

But Vita is an entirely different class of young woman. She's the Lord's daughter that Ag and En meet at Speakers Corner or at a Workers Union meeting on their day off. She couldn't be their sister - not even spiritually.

ive just seen that you like flute I know s flute and she is amazing!

Lana

Enid, Agnes and Lana. That works

Zero - no, you are mistaken.

Vita is often mistaken for the Lord's daughter on account of her natural elegance, beauty and confidence. In fact, she is a commoner who spends her spare time writing poetry (as per her namesake) and campaigning for Good Things.

She is also on everybody's party invitation list as she's such good fun.

Surely with Fabia you run the risk of Labia. (unless it's just me who thinks that's obvious )

Have we done Sybil?

I think Vera is my second favourite, after Rita.

Joyce

Velma has been mentioned quite a few times. If you're a Chandler fan that might appeal.

Hilary

Pascale? Or is that not horn rimmed enough?

Shame you're not Irish, there's the fabulously ball breaking Ita.

Hamble? She didn't take any shit on Playschool.

Drusilla
Gaynor

Dolores
Gladys
Nanette
Renee
Eileen
Una

Velma? As in Scooby and Shaggy?

Ooh Una makes me think of Ursula - love that name, but I don't know if the way I pronounce it is the right way - I'd say Ur-sue-la, or is it Ur-sur-la?

If it hasn't already been mentioned, I love Bridget, but wouldn't use it due to
A) names ending in T don't go with our surname
B) Bridget Jones, much as I loved the books, has rather killed it off for me!

The Ursulas I know pronounce it Er-shuh-luh.

Rayhana

I think it's just lovely. Pretty and fragrant whilst being unique and easy to say.

Mary?
