Traditional girls names

[HampshireMum1]

I'm due my second girl in a couple of months, currently liking:

Tabitha
Charlotte
Penelope
Felicity

Although I like them all none are jumping out to me like my first daughter's name. Any other ideas for traditional girls names?

Francesca
Beatrix
Evangeline
Rebecca

I often wonder what people mean by “traditional” names. Traditional where? And how far back are we going? the names you’ve listed are certainly not traditional where I live.

Eliza
Eloise
Kathrine
Amelia
Alexandra
Audrey
Cherida

congratulations!

Isabella
Anabelle

Edith? Meredith? I love Tabitha from your list. Maybe I just like the 'th' sound!

Lucinda
Alexandra
Georgina
Victoria

Alice
Nancy
Beatrice
Eleanor

I love Tabitha.

Jemima
Josephine
Genevieve
Verity
Susannah
Cecily
Constance
Adelaide

Thanks for the suggestions guys, all really lovely and have given me lots to think about.

My first is called Annabelle and my name is actually Alexandria so those are out but shows that we're all thinking along the same lines 😂

@ILoveMaxiBondi - I thought the examples I gave would give an idea of what I meant by traditional, and I think they are what most people typically would describe as that.

I have to say, I've only joined Mumsnet fairly recently and see your name pop up a lot being deliberately argumentative for the sake of it. I would probably understand your comment if I had asked your opinion on the definition of traditional, but I didn't. If you haven't got anything helpful or constructive to add to a discussion then why bother?

Jennifer. Elizabeth. Hannah Lucy
Sarah. Catherine. Olivia. Anna. Emma. Abigail. Florence. Eleanor.
Deborah. Rebecca. Lydia. Leah. Alice.

Clarissa

Juliet

Caroline

@Calloway I love Juliet/Juliette but have already used it as a middle name, part of me wishes I had saved it now!

If you'd saved Juliet for a second daughter the Naming Gods would have given you a son instead

and I think they are what most people typically would describe as that.

Probably in a small geographical area but certainly not most people on what is a worldwide forum. Sorry!

That may be your perception of my posts but I can assure you I’m never deliberately argumentative for the sake of it. I can be argumentative, but it’s always when there is a discussion to be had.

if I had asked your opinion on the definition of traditional

You asked for traditional names, but didn’t clarify specifically which tradition you meant. There are people from all over the world on MN, no-one can guess where you are from or what tradition you mean without some further information.

If you haven't got anything helpful or constructive to add to a discussion then why bother?

I asked for further information so I could answer your question!!

@Calloway I'm sure you're right 😂 and that would have thrown up even more problems as my husband and I can't even come up with one name we agree on.

Mary, Elizabeth and Catherine are surely the most traditional names and all lovely. A little Mary would be so sweet.

Verity
Marigold
Primrose

I think Emma and Sophie are timeless and pretty.
