Harlow, Winona alternatives pleeeease

[Zebraa]

DP is hoping and praying I'm just being emotionally unreasonable but I really love names like Harlow and Winona but want something not quite so well known for my little girl... any suggestions?

Well, I'm lost for words...!

• are you joking?

Margot Leadbetter!!! I remember that the first months after I moved to the UK one of the few things that cheered me up was watching The Good Life. I love margot Leadbetter. And Gerry (more than Barbara and Tom)

There is/was something very cosy and comforting about The Good Life - takes me right back to my 70's childhood in a Kent village where everyone was growing their own and making wine out of anything that was vaguely organic. Lovely!

Yeah! My fab great aunt was Margaret and that was a bit too crusty for me, but Margot seemed to encapsulate exactly what I was looking for. Classic and a bit edgy. Unusual but not weird. I almsot called her dulcie and peo9ple put their head in their hands when I said, well, I have another name I like.

Franca! yeah, tom and barbara were a bit boring, and especially now that they are so in tune withthe zeitgeist of 2008!

I love the decadence of Margo and Gerry!

lol Paolosgirl. I really like the name margot, never really thought about it before

Indeed Liffey. Ah those long dresses...

Her disdain for almost everybody!

Her complete control over poor Gerry!

The hair, the maxi dresses, the drinks from the cocktail cabinet after work, the wallpaper - what's not to love?

My glamorous next door neighbours had a silver carriage that housed a box of after eight mints - to my eight year old self that was the absolute epitome of sophistication

oh wow, that sounds 'positively divine sweetie'. I would love such a box.

Excuse me now, I'm just popping next door. My lovely neighbour Tom is plucking a pheasant for me for Christmas day.

Harlow is awful - marginally better than Harley but of the same type...

Winona I just don't like at all, sorry.

Must dash - I think the suit that I made for my husband from nettles and am currently dyeing has just reached the perfect shade of green

Night night!
