Ok, a while to go yet but here they are;

Frances
Ruth
Martha

One mine, one is DH's and one we both like but not either of our favourites IYKWIM.

Opinions please,ta very much!

Love Frances (nobody puts Baby in the corner)

I know a Martha, she is also called MATTY.
I have a relative called Frances who is 11 she hates being called Franny, apparently it sounds to much like Fanny and (I quote) 'I am not a front bottom.'

Thanks for all opinions.
I still really like Martha. I'm surprised that so many people have commented how common it is these days. But then in my many years of teaching I've never taught a Jack so who am I to judge?

Frances is growing on me though. This last week I've also heard the names Joscelyn and Rosalind. Both of which I quite like too.

go on hatricks thread about what people would call their Kids if they were pg right now, andwhat struck me was how many people liked Martha and Matilda...

All three for me - Martha 1st, then Ruth and then Frances )

I went on to call my little girl (who was supposed to be Martha) Constance .....Now I really love that name )

Ruth was ruined for me by Jasper Carrot.

I am not an avoider of common names (indeed, I started a thread about it), but I'm not sure how much I like Martha. Would she be Marty? I did once know a Marta, but it sounded like martyr and she changed it to Martha, actually, in the end.

Frances, I like, but not madly. Franny, I like more.

Do like Rosalind.
