Traditional but not common

[LuckyMum3]

Hi I’m looking for traditional names, or names that are heard of and not uncommon.. but hopefully the only one in the class or year group. An example of what we like..

Violet nn Lettie/Lottie
Matilda nn Tilly
Alice nn Lissie
Madeline we dislike Maddie
Annie
Felicity

Isaac
Jasper
Joseph
Benjamin

I love traditional names that have a cute nickname.. aware some of the above are popular but don’t seem to be in my area.

We have a Lydia :) We avoided our favourite name as it was supposedly extremely popular and I’ve never met one!

Ah I only just seen this after I suggested Lydia

Hester, Viola, Emmeline, Dorothea, Rosamund. Edmund, Edwin, Peter.

Heard of but not super popular was my criteria too . I went with Georgia for my first, though I like Georgina too. She’s the only one in the school.

Alexandra

She'd be the only one or two in the school. Lots of nicknames.

Elspeth
Frances
Harriet

Owen
Hugo
Rowan
Xavier

Sidney and Bronwyn

Gertrude nn Trudy
I don’t actually know any little Elizabeth and there are loads of lovely nicknames (Lizzie, Beth, Bethany.)

Just coming by to say that today I heard a mum call her little girls name- Josie! She can't have been more than 3, never met a Josephine/Josie under 50 but it's a lovely name.
