Hi,

really struggling to name our 2nd daughter. We like classic names but I don’t want something that’s super common.

2 that are on the shortlist are Poppy and Tabitha but my partner isn’t set on either of those enough to commit.

Need help compiling a longer list!!

For me Poppy and Tabitha are different genres.

Poppy belongs to Daisy, Milly, Rosie, Ella, Holly, etc.

Tabitha belongs to Mathilda, Gabriella, Leonora, Marina, etc.

Poppy is very generic and boring, Tabitha is unique and great. Completely different vibes to be. I'd say people who like poppy would like Evie, Elsie, Gracie, Isla etc and people who like Tabitha like Beatrix, Aurora, juniper

hey, I have two little girls the first one we had a name for but our second daughter we really struggled and couldn't find anything we liked. we ended up getting this book from amazon https://amzn.to/3KKpa2n as we were so desperate to find something as I was so huge and ready to drop 😂normally books are a bit cliche but this one gave us so many names we shortlisted, finally settled on Jasmine. hope you find your name :)

Not Poppy then- it’s not classic imo and is fairly popular now. Tabitha is pretty and underused and a bit more classic. Classic but underused now imo would be names like:

Claudia
Verity
Celia/Cecilia/Cecily
Rosalind/Rosamund/Rosa
Julia/Juliet
Antonia
Serena
Philippa
