Looking for a timeless classic girls name for DD4. Other girls begin with M, S and H so would like to use a different initial. All suggestions welcome :) thanks in advance x

I have a Charlotte, but I'd imaging that's out given recent births!

Lovely suggestions... Reading them to OH and he's not for any of them... He's still stuck on 'Kathleen' (see previous thread) x

Kathleen is a great name I'm with your DH!

CheerfulYank · 05/06/2015 07:39

Elizabeth or Anna.

I have a Margaret and love it, but you have an M already :)

I'm not keen on Kathleen as I feel its a bit dated now plus OHs mum and sisters name. His family are very into recycling names. I suggested Kate, which I love, to honour his mum but he's not having it.

Margaret is my Hs middle name :) I love it too

timeless, enduring classic - Elizabeth
More unusual, enduring classic (infrequently, but always still used, but never very popular or peaking) - Cordelia

I actually like Kathleen but I think the baby needs her own name - Caitlin any use - you could still use Cait and DH and family could use the Irish pronounciation which i think isn't a kick in the @rse from Kathleen.
