Do you have any names that you love but never see mentioned on MN?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Dorothy has been back for a while. Clara is common these days.
Marjorie.
Sarah.

Because the threads are usually about the names that are currently trendy and generally overpopular.
So many are things like Thedore or Sebastian? or Olivia or Ava?

I like Lorna too.

Cicely is lovely but Cecily is just too Cecil-y.
Dot is brilliant, and to think that when a friend wanted to call her DD Dorothy way back in the early 1990s I said no.

Some of the names popular on here are awful.

Geekynzmum · 30/10/2019 21:33

Mine is Cassandra, it was always the name I wanted if we had another DD and I absolutely love it.
Also love the name Naomi, and have fond memories of a lovely friend I had as a child called Naomi.

Peony99 · 30/10/2019 21:36

Naomi as PP says.

Also Susannah.

LikeaHurricane · 30/10/2019 21:42

I have always loved Romy for a girls name.
Ex DH vetoed it though ... I should have ignored him, because my DD loves it and says if she has a girl, she's going to call her Romy

LikeaHurricane · 30/10/2019 21:43

Ha ha! I'm now laughing at my own post and how disdainful I sound about my ex

flametrees · 30/10/2019 21:46

Katherine

HerRoyalSpookyness · 30/10/2019 21:47

Bernadette. It's such a pretty name. biased because I have a little Bernadette

I quite like Michael for a boy.

rabbitwoman · 30/10/2019 21:51

Joan.
Richard.
Rex.
Miriam.
Jason.

I don't have any kids so can't call anyone Indianna, Wanda or Eurydice. Probably for the best .......

Elderflower14 · 30/10/2019 21:51

My other choice for a boy was Thaddeus..
Hepzibah for a girl..

mildlymiffed · 30/10/2019 21:55

For a boy, I like Rowan

annienone · 30/10/2019 22:56

@BigGlasses that's my IRL name and I still only know of 1 other! I'm 26 btw so definitely not a popular name!

annienone · 30/10/2019 22:59

I love Laurent for a boy. Sounds unusual until you know someone with the name and it just seems to work!

Justtheoneplease · 30/10/2019 23:15

I love the name Sara, not Sarah or Zara but Sara that rhymes with Lara

username1724 · 30/10/2019 23:26

I love the name Lilla but only ever heard it IRL
Fleur I dont see mentioned really but that's my second favourite.
