Very ordinary girls names

[Tattletail]

Trying to think of girls names that are extremely normal 😅 just good strong classic names.

What I'm thinking is a long the lines of Hannah, Amy, Charlotte etc etc.

I want to avoid anything too unusual, too vintage or too whimsy.

Any suggestions welcome

@ValentandoThey don’t if you are one in 200 they are meeting at an event though where everyone is a great professional and smart. Anyway DD has the extra bonus of her name as she sees it.

I do get a complex family name can be too much with a more unusual first name and of course you might crave anonymity!

The national office for statistics has list of the most popular baby names each year. Have a look back every 5 years or so and see what keeps popping back up?

Hannah, Amy and Charlotte are three of my favourite names. Choose one of them! All prefect.

Though, if you're going for 'normal' I'd say Hannah and Amy are now quite unusual. As are a lot of the suggestions on this thread. They're all names of girls adults grew up knowing multiples of.

From my experience at school, the normal names are absolutely Emma, Laura, Rebecca, Hannah, Amy, Sarah, Gemma etc.

But from my experience teaching, the normal names are:
Lily, Annabel, Evie, Holly, Charlotte, Daisy, Sophia, Isabella, Poppy, Isla & Chloe

Ordinary, (but not commonly used?):
Audrey
Juliet
Julia
Caroline
Celia
Lydia
Marion
Marianne
Polly
Susannah
Ingrid
Celeste

To me 80s names are 'normal' as that's when I was at school. Some of the kids in my child's primary class have normal names by my definition - there's a Matthew, Jamie, Katie, and Lucy (which I had in my primary class too!)

Lauren / Laura
Katie / Kate / Katherine
Elizabeth
Harriet
Clara
Sally
Rebecca
Rachel
Joanna
Josephine
Heather

Melissa
Susannah

I believe I have the winner:

Joanne

I love Emma Dd1 might have been an Emma but the woman in the next hospital bed named her dd Emma anyway Emma is lovely it is definitely due a comeback .

I wouldn’t say Sian, Imogen or Phoebe are particularly ‘normal’

Charlotte and Anna

This sounds a bit like my class at school!

Do we tend to think of "normal" as what was common when we were young?

For me it would be:

Emma (loads of them at my school)
Sarah (ditto)
Louise
Anna
Annabel (again loads)
Kate (and again!)

Alice
Agatha
Anna
Claire
Charlotte
Catherine

Lauren
Lucy
Libby
Lisa
Mary
Morgan
Merryn

Wouldn't you ?

Why? From someone with an unusual name with wider family with unusual names and who named my children unusual names, I don’t understand your main requirement being ‘normal.’ Why would you not want your child to have a special to them name?

Am I the only person who doesn’t like the name Emma? No offence to anyone!

Anne
Alice
Suzanna
Katherine
Angela

Ruth
Victoria

No mention of Jessica?
