Boring or timeless

[Teddybearhunter]

I love the names Hannah & Lucy but am aware they’ve been very popular for a very long time. Would this stop you using them?

I also like Rose & Rosa which feel a little more current in comparison.

If you’d avoid names that have been popular forever, what else do you think I’d like?

I love Lucy (although I prefer Lucie for some reason).
Hannah is lovely but I know 3 who are all teenagers! Rose and Rosa are also lovely.
Would you like the name Alice?
Its so classic and timeless, it seems to fit with your criteria/names you like...
I have an Alice and we get complimented on her name all the time!

Lucy is lovely, as are Rose & Rosa. Hannah is nice enough but a little but dated to me.
Other suggestions in a similar vein:
Helena
Louise
Victoria
Verity

Oops just seen Verity is a no. Juliet?

Rose and Rosa are lovely. You might also like Rosanna?

Or perhaps Catherine, Joanna, Mary?

They are both nice names, not hugely dated or extraordinarily beautiful but perfectly nice! Rose as a first name is nice too but every girl born in the last 4 years seems to have Rose as a middle name so I would find that a very uninspired choice.

I love all of your name choices equally. It's very hard to choose between them.
What do you think of Rosanna or Rosalyn?

I agree about Rose. I think it's beautiful but being overused as a middle name atm.

I absolutely love Rosanna!

I don't find Rose at all uninspired as a first name. I only know one! I know more Rosas and a couple of Rosalies.

It is definitely overused as a middle name* though. I get why. Baby girls all seem to suit it!

*See also May and Grace.

There used to be loads of Rosies too, but think it's died out a bit.

I think they are quite boring - there were a lot of these names when I was at school ten year ago.

Love Hannah.

I have a lucy and I really don't understand when people say it's so popular she's the only one in her school and I know 1 in her late teens and 2 that are 40

But then again I have a Amelia and she was the only one in her school and now at a very large secondary (1000 pupils) she's still one of only 5

Boring in my honest opinion. Lucy is very dated as PP said lots of these when I was at school years ago. Hannah is OK but quite plain

@bouncingbelle I really love Juliet - it’s not one I’d thought of - thanks!

@locketsprocket DD1 is Emily - the most popular girls name from 2000-2010... yet she's the only one I know (& to think I vetoed Chloe because it was too popular )

My friend is due this year and she's calling her Lucy!x

Hannah and Lucy seem quite 1980s but I think they would just sound classic these days. Another name of that era you might like is Zoe? Or Katy?

I love Rosa - it's simple but pretty. I have a young child and haven't come across one. Rose is nice too but please only as a first name. It's very cliched as a middle name. I like Rosa much more than Rosalie or Rosanna.

Rosa is a classic.

Dd1 has a classic middle name dd2 has both a classic first and middle name.

Rosa is beautiful and timeless.

Hannah is very dull and would say Lucy is a bit wet

@Teddynearhunter happy to help! :)
