It’s amazing how so many of these names wouldn’t sound out of place at a nursery today eg Millie, Ivy, Ava, Elsie, Grace. I wonder the current generation of these will go for the names of their great grandmothers eg Tracey, Debbie, Karen etc and it will all keep going in cycles.

Mine are: Harriet, Susanne, Hilda and unknown!

Not sure of middle names. Can't see Elvera making a comeback any time soon but the others are all okay.
