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?

There are two pronounciations of Irene, of course.

Would be Eye-reen, not Eye-ree-nee.

we have a Romana in the family

Freda- too North London
Wallis - too American (and too disgraced royal connectioney)

Gwen
Ruth
Hope
Doris
Wilma
Judy
Laverne
Norma
Ruth
Shirley
Trista

Romana - pizza.

Oooh - the have been tinkered with (just noticed on previous post!)

Gwen...hmmm...I like this.

Glenda

Olivia is not my bag, Mutton. But thanks for the good wishes (think I'll need them!)

Glenda - no.

Hilda
Joyce
Opal

Judith is a favourite of mine but I bet you don't like it, Maureen!

Marion?

mildred.

I really do like Helen with Agnes and Enid.

It was my grandmother's name and she was a firecracker :)

Gillian
Yvonne
Daphne
Helen

Judith has potential for Judy which o am less keen on.

(Nicknames in current usage for Agnes and Enid are Ags and Mo)

(Also why Ramona is out of the mix this time, as Mo would have the go-to nn for her)

saw Elspeth suggested on page one and subsequent Elsie nn worries, but what if you enforced a different nn such as Eppie or Effie?

Arriety

Lydia

Ariadne

Hepzibah

Helen is growing on me.

Alma
Connie/Constance
Joyce
Shirley
Nora
Wilma
Flora
Gwen/Gwendoline/Gwendolyn
Bertha
Ida
Miriam
Agatha
Geraldine
Mildred
Rhonda
Morag
Mona
Frieda/Freda
Doreen
Eunice
Maud
Brenda
Ursula

and e- not sure I suggest this after a thread a while ago....

Blanche

Fleamadonna - not keep in effie and Eppie too Silas Marner.

Actually meant to say the Florence category, not the Felicity category... but you know what I mean.

Gwen sounds very soft against your other names.

Morag I like but poss too Scottish/Home and Away.
