I like vintage names that aren’t made up but not too common

I like it.

I have a friend called that (50s). It’s a lovely name.

Love it.

Really nice.

Uni90 · 18/02/2022 19:44

I have read that it was most popular after WW2 which really resonates with me somehow

I like nature names but find this one a bit dowdy.

booplefloof · 18/02/2022 20:08

Love it

KylieCharlene · 18/02/2022 20:10

I like it.

I love Fern. It's pretty and simple. I have seen a rise in threads on Fern recently though. I'm not sure if it's because nature names are are trend at the moment or it's signalling a sharper rise in popularity than it's currently going through, but worth a mention.

DS would have been Fern if he’d been a DD. I love it, feminine and strong at the same time, elegant and classy.

Love it

Like it!

HettytheHoover · 18/02/2022 21:36

Really great!

ShadowPuppets · 18/02/2022 21:39

I like Fern, I had a friend at school called that. I feels in a similar vein to DD (Bryony) and what DS would have been if he was a girl (Hazel). Love strong, non-frilly nature names for girls.

Justleaveitblankthen · 18/02/2022 21:42

What about Ferne even?Smile

MonkeyPuddle · 18/02/2022 21:42

I love it. It was on my list for DD but we went with Tilda as it fitted with DS’s name more.

mondler · 18/02/2022 22:07

I like it. I know one in her early 40s and not met any others.

labyrinthlaziness · 18/02/2022 22:08

I like it, it is a proper good name

CaptainCallisto · 18/02/2022 22:30

I grew up with a Fern, and always loved it as a name, but hadn't heard it in years. I've had two in my classes over the last few years (one Fern, one Fearne) and it's made me really happy that it seems to be having a bit of a revival.

OddshoesOddsocks · 18/02/2022 22:32

Love it, it was on our list for DD3 who was a Connie in the end.

WeasilyPleased · 18/02/2022 22:35

Beautiful.

LilacSloth · 18/02/2022 23:20

Love it Smile

Lovemydoggie · 18/02/2022 23:21

Beautiful name 💕
