Oh will you all stop making yourselves like the name Walter.......

[Cadelaide]

It's just silly.

Walter ?

Was horrid 70 years ago. Still horrid now. Dennis is right.

(With apologies to all the no-doubt-lovely old Walters out there).

Sorry. Was not trying to be mean

I like Mildred and Gretchen.

Oh God DH just sat next to me and said i like Wyatt

Thank goodness it is pink this time.

Thanks but I think I need more than a heated lavender cushion to help me

LG&T, have a look at this

Beano Nbg, remember dennis and walter the softee?

LG&T are you ME??????

Gretschen is/was on my girl list for the last 4 years!!!!

Sadly I may not have a girl, ever...so you can have it

Short for margaret?

Oh yeah!

Just had a lightswitch moment.

Sadly i thought i would never have another girl so the chickens and rabbit all had my fave girl names.

We have had a Margaret, Penelope, Prudence, Henrietta and Gertrude. Rabbits have been Mabel, Florence and Violet.

I am buggered now it comes to naming the baby!

Do you take hugs?

I think of that Walter too Cadelaide

Occasionaly

Have saved it to favourites. I just flicked through, i think i should have been born in that era.

I have my huge coach built silver cross and smocked rompers waiting for her

Oh how lovely!

There are some gorgeous names on that list.

In Times/Telegraph BAs:
Honor
Prudence
Mabel
Sylvie
Augusta
Helena
Eleanor
Florence
Edith
Margaret
Constance
Winifred
Millicent
Bette
Myrtle
Irene
Iris
Cisely
Cora
Elspeth
Mary
Nell
Petunia
Hilde gard
Posy
Octavia

Ahhh

Millicent, Posy and Prudence.

Prue is gorgeous.

walter is horrid IMO
who would want to name their child "wally" ?!

Millicent also lovely.

You see, I have the coach-built silver cross and all but Walter?......no.

i have a Millicent

Theres an Eli in Emmerdale, so beware of the "did you get that from Emmerdale" comments
Connie is lovely. Another of my favourite girls names.

I love all the old names but dh wasn't keen. He much prefers more modern names.

Walter is horrific!!! Don't do it, anyone! And I like precisely three names on that Times list, Eleanor, Elspeth and Octavia.

Walter? URGH.

Little bit bemused to see Robert as 376th most popular girls' name on that list... John and James also make the list.

Tell me that is a typo on behalf of whoever produced the list.....

I think all those early 20th century names are horrible. A lot of the old people who have them hate them, so I feel sorry for all the little tots called Elsie, Winifred, Edith, Pearl,Stanley,Reginald, Ernest etc.
