I’ve got a Mabel, Ada and an Ivy in my children’s circle so there you go.

I think that’s a Scottish convention for honouring male relatives from the 19th century?

Mabel is cute.💕

Michelle
Nicola
Sandra
Yvonne
Sally

There is a Peggy in the same year as my child at Primary School

How should it pronounced? I thought it was said the same as lettuce the salad veg.

God No. But that's personal. I'm glad that particular witch is long dead & buried & no child should be saddled with the name !!

Nicola is a beautiful name and you hardly see it now. Why?

Candida

I had never realised it was a Scottish thing! I had wondered where all the Inas went when I moved to England and now I know 😀
Maybe I would also include Nigella in the making a man's name into a woman's that won't come back.

Gillian
Yvonne
Ethel
Brenda
Wendy
Gwendoline

I can’t believe people are calling babies Agnes, it’s such a harsh clumpy sounding name. Some old names are objectively pretty (Florence, Constance, Mabel etc). But I feel like people calling their kids Agnes, Maud and so on are just jumping on the old lady name bandwagon and not really caring that they are giving their girls quite ugly sounding names. Just my opinion, it’s all a matter of taste I guess.

My eldest is Stella. Chosen as it’s a beautiful Latin name for star. There’s not another Stella in her large secondary school. I didn’t even think about about the beer connection until she pointed to a pack of beer one day in a shop and said ‘look! That’s got my name on!’ She was about 3. Maybe that’s why….
