Amelia
Eva
Helena
Victoria
... and I'm teetering back-and-forth over Jasper

Alexa
Maria
Rosemary

Eli
Tristan
Eden

Helena. Dd was nearly called this, and I’m so glad we went with our other option in the end because there are SO many Eleanors now.

Isaac & Emily

Was dead set on them and just totally went off them!

This naming children business is bloody hard lol

Florence

Mia or Maya - far too popular for my liking these days.

Levi, I still adore this name but I keep hearing it's "chavvy". I wish I had the courage to not care about the chav things.

Madeline. Someone I know and really dislike called her child Madison and I find them too similar. I still like Madeline but nowhere near as much. Some lovely names on this thread though. I actually quite like Levi and I wouldn’t be put off by people calling it chavvy. In my experience people who put things down by calling it chavvy usually aren’t worth listening to at all.

Helena it was a serious contender for dd1 and we had it on the short list by the time we were expecting dd2 (23 months between them) it was not featuring at all.

Jessica and Victoria, especially the former always assumed I'd use Jessica for a girl but have gone right off it in recent years.

When I was 7 (this is really quite a long time ago) , I thought the name Tracey was absolutely gorgeous and then it all got ruined with the Sharon and Tracey jokes. I suppose like Karen has been really! When I was a teenager I thought Nicole was the best and coolest name of all time and that my life would have been infinitely more fun and glamorous if only my silly parents had used it. I still do like it, but not to that extent.

I haven't really gone off any other names. Couldn't use most of my lifelong favourites as DH didn't like them or they wouldn't work in his language/ culture. For me it's more the case that names I used to strongly dislike (Lily and Toby in particular come to mind) I no longer think are awful.
