advice wanted...

[cass66]

..Am prepared for all opinions.

I have 2 girls already called Jennifer (5) and Heather (3).

due baby no 3 in 2 weeks, don't know the sex.

stuck on a girls name. ok for a boy.

I like old fashioned, uncommon but not weird or daft names. sort of names that you'd think 'I haven't heard that name for a while'. Also like the fact that there are currently no other jenny or heathers at school.

currently have Louise, Elizabeth (with all it's many abbreviations) and Rosemary, which is the outsider but is REALLY growing on me. but none of them really stand out like the other kids names did.

surname begins with P and is 2 syllables. no irish, welsh or scottish connections, pure english!

what do the panel think!! thanks. Cass

Might be a bit popular for yo though.

my dp would swoon over your dds names

he would say Rachel - i think it goes well!

Elizabeth or Elisabeth both lovely. One of my dds has a shortened version but we like the fact she can return to the "real" version if she chooses later one. I love Charlotte as well but perhaps that is a little too high up the list of popular names for your taste?

Bronwyn / Bronnie

Judith

Rebecca
Caroline
Sarah

Charlotte
Amelia
Rosalind
Susannah
Victoria
Abigail
Catheri ne/Katherine

Lucy
Evelyn (Evie)

Love Rosamund/Rose I have two boys so never had the chance!

Sarah
Catherine

Judith's nice

Teresa?
Christina?

Of your list I like Elizabeth best, strong and loads of options for nicknames but also suits baby.

I don't much like Louise but Rosemary is quite nice. It will probably get shortened to Rosie though and thus fall into a more popular names category!

btw I still love my dd's name despite the fact I know about 6 others of roughly the same age!

I have a
Clara,
Lydia and
Rosamund if that's any help!

How about Louisa?

rachel and Katherine both excellent (I have one of each!)

Like Louise, what about Hilary, Alison, any variation of Lindsay, Susan, Caroline, Deborah?

Just some ideas!

Helen ? (I'm one and there were five in my class at school but I haven't heard of anyone using it for ages - maybe its due a renaissance)

I think Clare and Helen are really pretty and not much used now.

Jacqueline or Claire

AMELIE OR VICTORIA

What have you chose for a boy??

I think Rosemary goes very well with your other two girls, and if you make it clear that's what her name is you can avoid the more common Rosie/Rose. I know two very nice (adult) Rosemarys. Elizabeth is of course classic and lovely, and Catherine would also work well. In fact there are lots of lovely names that would work well

Melanie or Susannah. Two lovely names that I associate with my own generation but that I don't come across all that much from anybody of any age. Anyway, I think they would go really well with Heather and Jennifer.

Rosemary and Elizabeth are beautiful. I love those, but I suspect they are a little bit more on the up trendwise.

love rosemary and elizabeth...
