Classic English girls' names

[LuciaRose]

I'm trying to come up with some traditional names that are recognisable, but not overused. I like anything with a slightly elegant, Regency or Victorian feel. What do you think of my ideas so far? Any other suggestions?

Henrietta
Georgiana
Charlotte
Lucinda
Beatrix
Flora
Jemima
Cecily
Alice
Cle mentine
Arabella

LOL at 70s esthetic

Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, Lydia, Caroline, Georgiana
Cassandra
Susan
Elinor, Fanny, Marianne, Charlotte, Lucy, Sophia, Eliza
Maria, Julia,
Emma, Harriet, Augusta,
Anne, Louisa, Henrietta,

bet you can guess what I've been thinking of

I know loads of Sarahs.

Agree Tiffany is a no no. Reminds me of snobby eastern prep girl type... probably owned the "Preppy handbook" in the 80s.

But, what I am really really truly confused about is how in the world did CD's daughter get a godmother?!?! I mean doen't that involve going to church.

She wasn't christened
it is a non-godmother in fact
we had a non-christening
Anyway she is a left-footer. She had to convert to marry her nobby aristo dh

Do you know loads of Sarahs under age of say 10, Athene? Maybe it's just a no-goer in my parts.

Tiffany is absolutely not on.

Bronze, excellent idea. All lovely names. Though it's just occurred to me that it was a bit odd of JA to name one of the leading characters in PandP afer herself. Don't you think?

So, your project is ending. How fab. My job is ending. (YYYAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!)

We should go out for a drink before I leave sunny Brentford.

Well it would be fab if I hadn't twattishly agreed to start a new one on 6 Jan grrrr

Yours is finishing
I had no idea
Where are you going?
Or is SAHMdom calling...

Yes we should

No, not under 10. Now adults actually. I remember a lot when I was a kid especially (in the states).

That's what I was saying loads of adult Sarahs and Catherines, no children that I know of

Think they were done to death as names in 60s, 70s.

Juju you know I had never thought of that. And in P&P it was the beautiful one too!

I resigned a couple of weeks ago. New job starts 5th Jan... and I have agreed to work here between Christmas and New Year to hand over. (however that means I will get paid for holidays not taken so I don't really mind)

I'll e-mail you.

oh yes Fanny
good one

Middle name minge?

ooh yes doooooooooooo

The beautiful and good one

Aha, I feel a PhD thesis coming on (actually I don't time to get children out of the bath)

helena

imogen

juliet

ursula

miranda

oh i like Hester

Tilly Rose

Love, love, love Jemima one of my favourite names would have been a serious contender for me if this bump was to be a DD

Am I the only one who hears the name Tiffany and thinks 'I think we're alone now' (don't watch Eastenders) showing my age.
Don't use that one.

Henrietta >

I know a little Catherine. Absolutely unmissably lovely name in all its forms.

Edith
Clover
Marianne
Margaret
Mary
Sara

There's got to be a first person who calls their daughter Rudyard.

I'm trying to start an Alcamia revival.
anyone?

What about Victoria?

Venetia
Diana
Lettice
Agnes
Verity
Margaret
Marianne
