Only old and codgerly suggestions wanted thank you.

[MrsPScholfield]

The suggestions are to go with (already we have) The dds first and subsequent names.

Dora
Eliza
Henrietta
Mary
Iris
Anne

Boys on the list are Henry and Arthur but no ideas for girls.

I have a theory that one day dd's names will be in vogue and people will like them

Feel free to say they are hideous, I care not. (skin like a rhino) but I will hunt you down etc...

I like all your dd names bar Mary and Anne.
I have an Eleanora who gets called Nora or Queenie, her mn are Queenie and Mae.
I also have an Amelia Kate who gets more frequently Mimi Kitty.
Verity and Alberta were high on my list last time(9mths ago)I also have a fondness for Wilhelmina which is rarely heard.
I much prefer Arthur to Henry as there are so many Henry's about now.

Maude
Martha
Clara
Dorothy (dotty)
Celia (Cece)
Pollyanna

oh there is a celia near us. Her mum bellows ''ceeeliaaaaaarrrr'' in a voice fit to shatter glass.

Pollyanna

Thanks DrNortherner, I love it. In fact so may on this list but that one has just leapt out to me.

How does one pronounce Ottilie? I have never heard of this name

Got no idea!

I visited a wonderful old lady in a old peoples home called Maude..she was great and I always think of that name now.

I love Mary!
May
Adelaide
Constance
Nora
Hilda
Cecily
Anastasia
Cecelia
Ettie
Eleanor
Frances
Lydia

Maurice for a boy: bet there hasn;tbeen one since 1960 & even then old fashioned!

OTT-EE-LEE, all syllables same length

Or slightly softer OTT-UH-LEE. I know of one, she gets called Ottie for short. Pretty, old and unusual.

Elsie? Nessie? Heather? Ingrid?

A dear friend has just called her dd Primrose and, being fanatical gardeners, we both think it's an utterly fab name. If it has naff connotations (but why?) they've passed me by!

Cecily
Beatrice
Penelope
Verity

I like annie...
I have a Henry too...

Wow you lot certainly are a granny name-loving bunch aren't you?

I work with elderly people and atm there are loads of 80-100 yr old

Marjorie
Elsie
Pamela
Charlotte
Marilyn
Anne
Florence
Margaret

Cecily
Augusta
Evie

I like

Elsa
Polly (anna)
Augusta
Evelyn
Maude (is that short for another name?)

I think they quite go with the others too.

cecilia
violet

Lots of Violets. It reminds me of Charlie & the choc factory.

Isadora.

Loving all these.

Marguerite
Phyllis

I do have a slight 'reaction' to Pollyanna based on the character, but if you love it, then do it. What about Polly though?

Love Primrose too.

I know a Hester and Esther and I think they are pretty names too.

Ernest
Ivy
Rosina
Maud
Albert
Dihannah
Suzanna
Nelly
Kitty
Eunice

Agnes? Gertrude? (ha ha)

Elsie
Estella
Dorabella
Carice
Alice

A family we met on holiday had Bertie, Gertie & Jemima - gorgeous kids!
