We have plenty of time but I am really struggling with liking any girls names...Blush
I like traditional boys names circa early 20th century, but I'm not sure what I like for girls! Help please, wise people of mumsnet!

What sort of names do you like? Do you want quite a classic /trendy/old lady/virtue name?
Are there any names you dislike?
Any that you might think are ok?

Hmmm ... you're not giving much to work from!

I think these names were popular for girls at the start of the 20th century in case your taste in time period is similar for girls:

Anne, Annie, Alice, Agnes, Agatha, Alma, Avis, Blythe, Beryl, Bertha, Belle, Clara, Connie, Constance, Cecily, Clarice, Dorothy, Daphne, Diana, Dilys, Dora, Dorcas, Deirdre, Emma, Ellen, Ella, Emily, Edith, Esme, Elsie, Enid, Ethel, Erica, Faith, Florence, Frances, Fleur, Grace, Georgina, Gloria, Helen, Helena, Hilda, Hilary, Hazel, Henrietta, Harriet, Ivy, Iris, Ida, Ines, Irene, Judith, Jane, Joan, Jean, Janet, Jessie, Josephine, Kathleen, Kate, Lily, Lucy, Lydia, Margot, Margaret, Maggie, Mary, Molly, Maisie, Martha, Nancy, Nell, Nelly, Olive, Olwen, Peggy, Polly, Patience, Prudence, Queenie, Ruth, Rose, Rita, Sara, Sarah, Sally, Theresa, Tessie, Una, Violet, Victoria, Winifred

Otherwise - my own favourite names:
