If I like Edie and Greta, what else might I like for a girl?

[freethebiscuit]

Also, for Greta, do you automatically assume this is some variation of Margaret?

Enid
Margot
Saffia

These two names are on my girls list too. I only have two more names on the list at the moment and they are Minnie and Lux

Veda
Lesia (pronounced Lesha)
Jocelyn
Deborah
Violet
Nancy
Nina
Florence

Freya

I'll throw in Blanche and Daphne and Dulcie, they have a 1930s sort of vibe to me, as do your original choices.

Sybil
Marnie
Hettie
Flora
Garnet
Pansy
Beatrix/ Beattie
Beryl
Dorcas
Josie
Dulcie

I'd briefly wonder whether a Greta was named after a relative called Margaret, and think it was a nice connection.

Agatha
Nellie/Nell
Minnie
Bridie

Etta
Ada
Eva
Rita
Lila

Also Laoise which is Irish pronounced Lesha

I do wonder how our dc will feel about the names we gave them.. Especially those that are "out there" or old fashioned..

Ray as a girls name? What's the full name?

Yes, like Ray Eames, whose name was actually Bernice Alexandra - her nickname as a child was Ray-Ray. It's lovely though, I think - has a definite 1950s feel to it.

Or, with the same pronunciation, the Japanese name Rei, which means lovely.

Ray short for Rachel, or Rae?

I never realised that Ray Eames was a woman . Despite my dad being well into post-war design, and growing up in a house full of Jacobsen, Eames and Sarinnen stuff (that makes us sound really well off. We weren't, but he had a few good years, we only went abroad if work was paying and our car was junk).
