Like them all! What about Lydia or Celia?

All lovely names. I especially like Lucy, Hannah and Alice. They’re on my list as well if I ever have a little girl.

I think these are more traditional girls names along with Catherine, Charlotte, Elizabeth and Margaret.

CheerfulYank · 04/10/2023 14:14

They’re all nice. I think Lucy might be my favorite.

Anna is nice because it’s such a well known name but it doesn’t seem very popular at the moment.

KirstenBlest · 04/10/2023 14:36

Anna is nowhere near as popular as I thought.
It does fall into the Anne, Annie, Hannah, Annabel, Anneli, Annalise ... type names though.

I really like Ann, but not as a middle name.

BrettAndersonsCheekbones2 · 04/10/2023 14:39

These names are all rather twee. How about Alexandra, Victoria, Judith, Hester, Susannah, Deborah, Elizabeth?

Kattitude · 04/10/2023 16:40

Lovely names, suitable for both a child and adult, classic without being dated or “trendy”.

Kitkat49 · 04/10/2023 19:20

My daughter is Anna, so that’s my favourite ❤️

Blingstar · 04/10/2023 19:23

Like all your name choices. Great list. Also like Ivy and Daisy.

theduchessofspork · 04/10/2023 19:23

They are all nice and popular - I’d skip Esme as it isn’t a UK classic, so will date

Hannah is probably the least used right now - I’d go for that or Anna. If she ends up wanting something less common she can go for Nancy or Nina as a diminutive.

theduchessofspork · 04/10/2023 19:24

Katherine (and variations) is also nice and less used than the others right now

TeenLifeMum · 04/10/2023 19:29

My favourite classic girl’s names:

Lydia
Victoria
Elizabeth
Kitty
Matilda
Alice
Heidi
Meredith

My daughter (20) is Grace and if my son had been a girl he would have been Alice.think the names go so well together.. I. Also Lucy so am loving your list 🤣

PickledScrump · 04/10/2023 21:03

Love Alice, Anna is nice too. I don’t like the others

ProfSleepzz · 04/10/2023 23:26

My best friend is called Anna and she is lovely!

Daffodilwoman · 05/10/2023 12:32

Anna is my favourite.

KillswitchEngage · 05/10/2023 16:23

I have a Hannah and it’s a very lovely name, not too old, not too young just classic. I have a sister Hannah and a few friends too and I can honestly say I don’t know a bad Hannah. I’m blessed to be surrounded by them.

Marylaurence · 05/10/2023 16:33

Yes!

Marylaurence · 05/10/2023 16:34

Esme and Grace are lovely.

Tootyfilou · 05/10/2023 16:37
