He seems to like "dated" names

Expecting a girl in February and have been discussing names.

DH likes names such as Amy, Jenny and Holly. I don't mind Holly, but don't know if I would use it for a February baby (may be over thinking it though) I'm not a fan of Amy though. Nothing wrong with it, I just associate it with some mean girls from school. Plus, his Mum has a cat called Amy, so I feel like that would be weird 😂 Jenny I don't mind either but I not a huge fan if Jennifer.

Told my friends about his name suggestions and they said the names are "dated" which is making me more apprehensive in using them.

I've suggested names such as Rose and Amelia (thought we could compromise with the nickname Amy for that.) He didn't mind Rose, but wasn't keen on Amelia 🙄😂

Any thoughts or suggestions would be great?

(We also have a cat called Tilly if that's any help haha) 😁

How about Emilia? Had I realised this was an option, I would have named my daughter this.

It will be unlikely that any girls in your child’s school, let alone year will be called Jenny so I would use it if you like it. It’s a lovely name, Jennifer is an old Cornish name and is the same name as the Welsh Guinevere. It’s a rare name for anyone under 45 and is still a classic.

Anything but Amelia! So bored of hearing this name and all the variations on it.

Love the name Holly.
I'd spell it Hollie - it gets you away from the Christmas vibes too 😊
