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

I have a four year old Elizabeth we call he Lizzie , just had another girl and named her Romy so a bit more unusual. There's also
Emma
Emily
Jessica
Lucy
Lara
Isabella
Lauren
Amy
Megan
Millie
Hannah
Anna

Actually no, I'm not fond of Emma either.

I think it sounds like the sort of noise a baby makes trying to say Mum-Mum and I also think it always seems a sort of non-committal, timid name - it isn't out there, it isn't too flowery, it isn't too posh etc etc. I guess, though, that's why people choose it - and I don't think it's awful, I'm just not really a fan.

No, I find it pretty dull (and it's my name!)

Katherine - Katie
Jessica - Jessie
Sarah - Sally
Rebecca - Becky
Emma
Harriet - Hattie
Ella
Elizabeth - Eliza / Lizzie / Ellie / Elle
Lucinda - Lucy

Ones that to me feel very normal but also very cross generational

Anna
Emily
Elizabeth
Sophie
Olivia
Alice
Charlotte

I think timelessness is a really good quality in a name so I always try and picture speaking to someone a similar age to me and them mentioning they have a great gran or sister or new baby with that name (or the male equivalent)

Emily
Jessica
Elizabeth
Katherine
Laura
Anna
Margaret
Lucy
Caroline
Madeleine
Frances
Joan
Louise
Susannah
Josephine
Mary
Hope
Rachel
Tessa
Ruth

I think you can’t go wrong with Emma or Anna.

Caroline needs a revival I think

As does Rachel

Fiona perhaps

Susannah is lovely

Emma is still moderately used and is great

Jane must be due a comeback

Lydia and Julia are nice too

There are a lot of Charlottes, Elizabeths and Anna/Annies around so you might want to avoid those

I've always found Amy a bit wet..

girls names that are extremely normal 😅 just good strong classic names.

Suzanna - bad spelling of Susannah
Lilly - bad spelling of Lily
Angela - dated
Gemma - I like it but I wouldn't say it was a classic. Jemima is.
Lucinda - just use Lucy
Francesca - Frances is classic but Francesca isn't IMO.

Not classic:
Elle
Elva

Gwen
Harriet
Hailey
Holly
Jodie
Jemma

@Valentando , successful people tend to have quite normal names but slightly different but not strange surnames.

@theunbreakablecleopatrajones , I find Amy a bit frumpy. Not sure why.

I like Jane, Caroline and Janet.
