Girls
Lucy - My absolute favourite. The name of my angel baby I lost in 2007. It's just so pretty and never seems to grow old.
Anna - I love this. I have a Hannah, but I like Anna too along with Annabelle and Rosanna.
Alice - One of my daughter's middle names. It's traditional, but never seems to age.
Charlotte - I have always liked. Love Lottie as a shortened version.
Eloise - Pretty. I don't know many.
Eleanor - Love this. Reminds me of the classic Eleanor Rigby song.
Catherine - I love this, and this is my favourite spelling too.
Helena -Pretty. I have heard it pronounced in two different ways Helen-a and Hel-ay-na. I like both.
Ava - Pretty, but super popular where I am.
Abigail - I like this. Most I know just use Abi/ Abbie though.
Alexandra - Traditional. I would probably shorten to Lexi rather than Alex.
Emilia - Beautiful. This was always on my short list. I prefer to Amelia, and like the option of shortening to Emmie. I also really like Emma.
Evelyn - Pretty. Most I know are pronounced Ev-lyn which I love.
Julia - Lovely. Seems to be becoming quite popular again (but not overly so).
Louisa - Pretty.
Margot - I am growing to like this.
Marianne - I like, but prefer Marianna or Mariella.
Miriam - Pretty.
Rebecca - Love this.
Robyn - I like this.
Boys
Ezra - I quite like.
Theodore - Love this.
Thomas - Another favourite. My dad's name.
Elijah - This was always on my short list.
Oliver - As above.
Noah - DS was almost Noah.
Robert - I quite like, but know so many who are my age!
