Hi all I have 2 boys and boy girl twins on the way. Totally stuck on girls names. Looking for something traditional, the boys all have biblical names. Thought I’d throw it out there incase anyone has any good ideas! Irish Catholic family so Mary seemed a tad too traditional!

Frances. My favourite traditional name.

Thanks again everyone, some really lovely names on here 😊 half of them taken by cousins etc but my other half is loving Tabitha and I am really liking it too. If I didn’t have an Auntie called Angela I’d also love that!
