Please leave vintage baby girl names below!

Me and DH have come to the conclusion our favourite style name for a girl is a pretty and vintage. So far on our list we have..

Daphne (probably our favourite so far)
Penelope
Cecilia/ Cecily
Dollie
Beatrice
Aubree

any opinions on these names would be much appreciated & any name suggestions you think we might like!

Daphne is very nice but would make me think you have Greek heritage rather than that you've gone for a 'vintage' name.

I meant to put Kitty in my list. I really love that name 😻

One of my great aunts was Kitty, and she was lovely.

Love all of those! I also love a vintage name, my favourites are Josephine, Rosa, Clara, Elsie, Alice, Betsy and Louisa.

I really like Penelope! But i might be a little biast as my DD is called Penelope Grin We call her P for short!

I am not sure about Dollie but I think Daphne is really nice!

Is this your first child?

millzcrawf · 07/10/2021 23:42

Thanks everyone!

I really like Kittie, I think it's so so sweet. This is our first child so we are very excited!

I only really like Beatrice out of those, (Bea) but I adore Violet and Lilith

Synchrony · 07/10/2021 23:44

Is Aubree vintage? It makes me think of a misspelling of the boys-but-recently-unisex Aubrey. Audrey strikes me as more vintage.

I like Penelope!

NuckingFightmare · 07/10/2021 23:44

I also love Vivienne

millzcrawf · 07/10/2021 23:48

@Synchrony my Nan had a friend named Aubrey! Spelt with the ey ending 🥰

If you decided to have another child and it was a boy, would you also decide to give it a vintage name?

@singlemama91 we're not too sure on boys names yet. There's a few we like two being August & George. I think they have a vintage (ish) feel to them 🤍
