Not common but traditional baby name...

[MAMAW31]

What's your best unusual but traditional baby name?

Ones that aren't used often!

Clarabel
Augusta

Hard to say but assuming you mean white English Anglican tradition...

Hepzibah for a girl
Moses for a boy

Depends on what you mean by traditional - but you might be thinking of classic names that were more popular 30/40 plus years ago, but that are (sometimes a long way!) outside the top 100 now -

I don't know really.....I guess Mary Jane and Ruth but I think a lot of mums will be thinking along the same lines. We're living in quite exciting times. I expect we'll have lots of Eleanors and Alfreds at school with Lunas and Graysons.

Josiah, Silas, Simon, Rosemary, Patience, Susannah

Mallory, Blythe, Verity, Etta

Woodrow, Edwin, Victor, Ivor

Jane and Ann/e. They used to be widely used but rarely are now.

Jonathan for boys
Marion for a girl

I want to add Susan and Martin

Back again!! We now have a top three! Baby girl due in five weeks! No negativity to any of the names please as she will more then likely end up as one, I do know they aren't to everyone's taste. But our current list is;

Juniper (my absolute favourite)
Pepper (husband adores this name)
Nessie (we both quite like)

Just opinion on which you would go for please as I said no negativity on any, took us forever to agree on three 😂

Thank you ladies xxx

I'm so sorry meant to start a new thread!!! I don't know how to delete 😱 ignore above
