"Granny" girl's name list!

[DefinitelyMaybeBaby]

Baby girl due in a few weeks and we are getting closer to a name but not there yet! I did post a shortlist a couple of months ago and feedback was helpful so thank you.

(I will caveat this by saying our taste is very much old fashioned names which we know won't be for everyone!)

Middle name will be Juniper with all the first name options.

Norah
Nancy
Mavis
Dorothy (Dot/Dottie)
Winnifred

Winifred not Winnifred
Barbara
Beryl
Carol
Sandra
Sheila
Thelma
Hilda
Shirley
Fidelma

I like Shirley and Gloria

How about

Prudence
Jean
Rita
Margaret
Janet

My great granny was Tabitha. I love that name

Nancy or Dorothy. Don't like Mavis or Norah at all, sorry.

I'm not too keen on Winifred but I do like Winnie or Win as nn.

I love Clara.

My grandmothers were Winnifred and Dorothy - I like both of them.

I also have a Zilla, Marjorie, Lilian, Joyce and Ellen in the recent family tree

Florence
Alice
Frieda
Ivy
Charlotte
Holly
Ada
Elsie
Emmeline
Agnes
Minnie
Carol
Felicity

• a lot of these are the names including middle names of girls 3 or women over 75 I know.

Love Millicent too!

Nancy from your list!

Sylvia is lovely and goes very nicely with Juniper.
How about Lucille or Edith?

I think all the names on your list are tolerable but not lovely. Dorothy, Nancy and Winifred are the best, but I think they are all becoming quite trendy in a hipster sort of way.

Daphne
Beatrice
Maude
Mabel

Love Nancy and Dorothy.

Winifred and Nora are both nice (spelled this way).

Not Mavis.

Love other suggestions of Sylvie/Sylvia, Margot/Margaret and Agatha.

Not Mabel. It's really, really popular.

I like Mavis a lot.

I love Dorothy and Winifred. They were on my list but vetoed by DH who has NO TASTE. I also love Agnes and Agatha. Good granny names.

Dorothy is nice but don’t go for Dottie unless you’re going to pronounce the t’s!

I love old fashioned names. Both of my girls have old names x

Annie @DefinitelyMaybeBaby

Anne
Anna
Marie
Irene
Jean
Rose
Elizabeth

Pearl

Mom's family - Sarah, Florence, Gladys, Lillian. none of which I would choose frankly.

With a middle name of Juniper I might be tempted to have May as a first name. Has the added bonus of no possible nickname.

But it also depends on the surname...so May Juniper xxxxxxx

Mabel
Daisy
Enid
Wendy
Gertrude (Trudy)
Margaret - Margot, Peggy, Maggie

Rosalie
Violet
Harriet
Phyllis
Iris
Ethel
Effie
Alice

I like Nancy Juniper best from your list, it's a lovely name!

Lilian is fabulous.
Sheila
Maureen
Joyce
Shirley
Jean
Alma
Beryl
Lena

Kathleen and wait for it.... Euphemia ... think it will be a long time before that makes a resurgence..even granny was called 'mia' ...

I think Norah is short for Eleanor and Nancy is short for Anne so you may want to be authentic if going old lady.
