Is this an 'old lady' name?

[rockinmum]

Lorna Margaret......just found out we are having a girl and this is the name we like, but I've just ben told it is an old lady name!

[Elasticwoman]

I have a cousin called Lorna who was born in the 1930s. But names go in and out of fashion. Alice used to be a very old fashioned name but it's come back in.

I like Lorna but not Margaret

It's your choice!

[Elasticwoman]

I do keep thinking of Moody Margaret in Horrid Henry! But it is an infinitely adaptable name.

[jumpyjan]

I love the name Lorna.

[LaDiDaDi]

I love Lorna. I think it's a name that suits all ages from baby to old lady.

Go for it.

[Elasticwoman]

Yes. And tell the miseryguts who objected that you hope one day she will be an old lady. Your baby that is, not her.

[LittleMissBliss]

I like Lorna but not Margaret, it may become her embarassing middle name. just reminds me of Mrs Thatcher.

[AliciaJohns]

as in Lorna Doone? I don't think it sounds old lady, but it is quite old fashioned - not that that's a bad thing. What does it mean?

[ellideb]

I knew a girl called Lorna in school and peole used to take the mickey out of her because of her name. Kids can be shallow I know but because of that I do think it is an old fashioned name
