For me it would be:

Susan
Sally
Janet
Jane

Winston, Wilbur, Susan, Clive, Kevin, Kenneth, Mallory, Bonnie, Brianna.

Nevaeh.

Caroline
Frances
Simon

When I went to school, these were standard names, but I've never heard of a baby named any of them in a very long time.

Margaret

Anthony. If I had another DS he would definitely be Anthony.

Moira
Laura
Imogen

Stanley
Merryck
Clive

Julie
Clare
Amanda
Fiona

Simon
Martin
David
Alistair

Lydia
Minnie
Winnie
Dora
May
Jean
Lawrence

Sidney

A few family names there.

I love Mallory too.
Laurel
Arlo
Harley

Cross posted with Agent - my Dad's an Anthony

Elizabeth, if I ever had another girl which I'm definitely not I'd go for it and call her that for sure

Mary
Edmund

Godfrey. Because I knew a wonderful man named Godfrey once, and because it makes me think of mediaeval knights.

Ida
Sally

♥️

@Middleoftheroad It's such a lovely name, really dignified. I can't resist a good saint's name

Yes - he always insists people get the 'h' right too!

I like Piper for a girl and Scott for a boy.

Another vote for Clive. Maybe we'll see a revival.

Andrew
Scott
Mark

Anoushka
Belinda
Joanna

John

Had I had a second child and he were a son I would have chosen John - no question , A fantastic name.

I do like Frances , but then DS has Francis as a middle name - so I sort of would , wouldn't I

Love Malory.

Also love Quentin.

Sharon - I love the way it sounds and all the Sharon’s I know are awesome

Baptiste- you gotta be French though or it sounds wanky

Stella

Frances nn Frankie for a girl. DP vetoed it.

Daughter #3's name is Kathleen. Wish I had kept it for #4's first name.

Also like Michelle, Chelsea and Clara for a girl. Harvey and Morgan for a boy.

I love the name Susan nowadays. When I was naming my own children, not so much.

The thing is it's a fine line between names you love and popularity. When we named DD, her name was quite rare. To this day, we don't know anyone older than her who has the same name. And then, BOOM! A celebrity nicked it and now it's everywhere!
