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?

Has verity been suggested?

Frances, Ruth, Petra, Hebe, Dorcas, Stella...
I will keep thinking!

Gloria is fab but mane to churchy (though offset by the amazing 80s belter connection)

Felicia

Bertha

Gertrude

Our Margaret is a Maggie, which suits her. I think people would have just called her Margaret, though, if we had. Her grandparents do.

Frances? Winifred? Stella?

Frances is good - added to list.

I like Ruth, but maybe too bibley?

Felicity - no.

Verity - no

Vivian - it's ok.

The Book of Ruth is an awful story.

Winifred?

Rita...Rita...o don't know. Maybe? On long list.

Ada?

Helen? Suzette?

Melba, Shirley, Betty? (My grandmother and her sisters :))

Winfred will become Winnie - too cutesy.

Verity
Verena
Venetia
Vanda
Valda

Eleanor
Wanda
Alison
Edith, tho too close to Enid I suspect
Emmeline
Gertrude / getrud
Sara

Mildred
Winifred
Bronwen/Blodwen

Gertrude I like. Also like Gert. But v anti Gertie.

Vera? Varsha?

I'm on a v theme now!

Sybill
Thelma
Gretchen

I suggested Blythe OP in case you missed it!

Geraldine?

Freda
Violet
Gertrude

(Sorry if repeats)

Blythe is too linked to Anne of GG for me! Though don't dislike it.

Esther?

Sybil - too alliterative with surname
