Need some inspiration. I obviously like old fashioned girls names. It can’t end with an ‘ie’ though. Any suggestions welcome! Names I like are:

Joy
Iris
Maeve
Una
Ida
Violet
Martha

What’s your favourite from these?

Favourites are Iris, Maeve and Violet. Not keen on Ida but Ada is lovely.

Dorothy and Ida Joy

I like Iris, Maeve, and Martha.

What about Hazel?

Love Oona but spelt like that (else you might get Yew-nuh 😮)

Also like Ida
Joy is Too Much to live up to
Iris and Violet are nice but overdone
Don’t like Maeve (like Mauve) or Martha (dreary)
