Victorian name ideas

[Praisebe]

Any ideas for old names that don't get used anymore ? We love the Georgian and Victorian era's so want to go with something from those times for either boy or girl we don't know the sex yet

Evelyn

Jethro

In my family:
Daisy, Violet, Lilla, Muriel, Helen (Nellie), Annie, Hannah Louisa, Rene, Kate
Albert, Alfred, Herbert, Thomas, Neil, Archibald

I'd go with Edmund or Jocasta. Not keen on Percival and Octavia reminds me of a Jilly Cooper book.

Struggle with boys names but love Clara and Evangeline.

Timothy

Ebenezer

Isn't it Xerxes?

I think Florence and William were the most popular names in late Victorian times.

Clara or Jocelyn

Xavier for a boy ? It's not Victorian but it's an old classic. I also like Cecil or Stanley

And what about Irenee, Cressida, Arabella or Mabel. Martha is old but quite popular now & American vibe.

I had a doll I named Clementine when I was younger !!!

Jocasta is gorgeous. Edwin is my favourite boys name. I've got 2 girls

Clarence
Ambrose
Isambard

Millicent
Lorina
Edith
