dh thinks this is an old lady name, I think is quite lovely and due a renaissance. Don't want to give a name that's too unusual or old fashioned, what do you think?

My mums name (in her 70s) and she hates it with a passion. Always known as Phyl, and she even hates that.

(Mind you, she did give my sister an equally crap name that she hates with a passion, so maybe got her own back!)

DDs' school has a Phyllis, a Phyllida and a Florence. Phyllis is a stunning child and the name really suits her.
