Just fantasising about having another baby... Smile

What good feminist baby names are there? So far I've got...

Emmeline - obvs
Emily - Davison, suffragette
Lily - name of the first US paper written by and for women
Matilda - Ronald Dahl heroine Grin
Amelia - Earhart

There must be LOADS more but my tired, tired mind is coming up blank.

**Not men's names that can be used for women please

I wouldn't have called Lilith or Aphra 'ordinary'. But there's nothing wrong in a common name being given for a particular reason which gives it a significance if people know why. For instance, I know a Martin who was very specifically named out of respect for Martin Luther King in the mid-1950s.
