Favourite old fashioned girls names?

[ChloeN]

We’re not finding out the gender of our first baby, we have a boy name picked but struggling for a girl! My partner likes Florence which I do really like but I don’t have my heart set on it! I really like old fashioned names, does anyone have any suggestions?☺️

Edith
Mabel

@pilates my mum would be pleased you said that, Edith is her favourite 🤣

Florence is so pretty. Other ones off the top of my head:

Beatrice
Beatrix
Sylvia
Margaret
Marilyn
Violet
Enid

I was going to say Mabel too!

Also:
Meredith
Annie
Ivy
Elizabeth (Libby as a more unusual nickname)
Lydia
Lilith/Lillian/Lily

Ada
Elsie
Alma

Violet
Sylvia

I also think Veronica is due a comeback. Havent heard of any under about 80 I don't think.

Elizabeth - that's the only timeless and ageless one. The others on your list are becoming quite fashionable. I know at least one of each currently under 5.

Of the fashionable ones I like

Edith
Martha
Verity

Frances

Winnie
Violet
Ada

Audrey
Prue
Beryl

Lucy
Mary
Margaret
Sadie

Agatha.

If your mum likes Edith and your not keen but like the nickname Edie have you considered Meredith with nickname Edie

Also love
Mabel
Primrose
Posy
Joanie
Nell
Polly
Peggy
Pearl
Opal

O and I adore Nancy!

@MikeLitoriss love primrose hadn’t thought of that one! Yes I like Edie just not too sure on Edith so Meredith would be lovely!

Sarah
Lydia
Edith

Pearl

Nancy. Betty. Dorothy. Cora. Alison.

I love nancy

Elizabeth as it never ages and is never in or out of fashion! Can shorten it to so many things as well; Lizzie, Beth, Betty, Libby

Ada, Edith, Nancy, Florence and Maggie would also be on my list!

Love Florence

I like:

Lucinda
Lydia
Elizabeth
Isadora
Leonora
Constance
Helena

Lottie (love this)
Dorothy

Elspeth

Oh, and you can shorten Florence to Florrie which I think is pretty. Have also heard the name Dilly which I think is pretty.
