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?

Mitzi would be a crackingly good name!

I fear the OP would find Mitzi too "frilly".

Ugh. Mitzi is so tacky.

Has anyone suggested Maud?

Well, I thought it was a funny OP! grin

Well, it was probably written with humour in mind...

Linnet

Kitty
Ada
Pearl
Clara
Dora
Mary
Bridget
Nora
Elsie
Marion

Oh, and as a homage to my loved late aunt...
Audrey

Frances, in honour of the Pope you are following so strictly of course! :)

Frances Maud Ramona.

I think that kind of humour is called "tongue in cheek", reuset.

As someone who is raising their children as Catholics, I thought it funny.

Hilda
Hilary
Helen
Janet
Susan (although does this go with your surname?)
Olive

Romola (as in the actress, Romola Garai). Can be shortened to Romy.

And I think we need to be thinking of fabulous girls names which are also saints, considering the OP!

Was just going to post Frances!
Betty
Janet
Lucille
Wendy
Nancy
Pamela
Doris
Rita
Rhea

Although I never heard of St Enid.

Merle?

Ester
Peggy
Margot
Blanche

I never did like Catholic or other religious 'jokes' Mitzi Some would find the stereotype downright offensive, in fact

What about:

Sybilla (Bill for short)
Winifred (needn't be Winnie, DH's mum was always known as Fred).
Greta
Vida
Minna
Ingrid

If a Catholic can't poke fun at Catholicism who can! I'm a veteran of convent schools, making Catholic jokes is part of the deal.

MitzyLeFrouf - I'm only here temporarily as a name change, I promise...I will gone soon!

Guinevere?? Nicknames Vera, Gwen, Neve.

Genevieve

Well yes, there were always those at school who made Catholic jokes and stereotypical jokes about other religions, and people etc etc. I'd have expected them to have grown up since then and realized that it was not good form.

Astrid?
