I want old fashion and/or unusual.

My list so far is:

August - B
Aubrey - G
Margot - G
Viviene - G
Kit - B
Perry- B

However, I'm still very undecided and atikk searching for a name that makes me thing "oh I love that!" So far I'm more "mm not bad, I'll put it down"

Hit me with the golden oldies! .. and odd ones!

Margot is so popular and fashionable at the moment. I know a baby Aubrey who is female. I met a baby Lavinia the other day which is quite unusual and old fashioned.

P. S. I have met 3 male Aubrey's no females. I believe it may be used as a girls name in America.

I know a little baby girl Aubrey, it's adoreable and I may steal it. The name not the baby! It's definitely a unisex name but I prefer it on a girl.

Other suggestions I had have already been posted such as Elspeth and Claudia for girls. Boys I struggle with but I do like Roger for some reason!

AnonymousP · 14/07/2019 08:32

How about Aubin, Alban, Aylmer (all boys’ names)?

itsagodawfulsmallaffair · 14/07/2019 12:09

If you don't want more than one in the class you need to rule out Kit, Vivien and Margot all very popular.
