Baby due today, still haven't agreed on a name. Something similar to Cecily or Helena - can you help???

[needanamefast]

Ok so DH and I cannot agree.

We don't know the sex but are a bit more stumped with girls names.

I love both Cecily and Helena, he thinks they are ponsy. I also love Romily but a close friend has named her baby that about 6 months ago. Same with beatrice and martha.

Dh likes names that are now too popular in my opinion (I think the are nice but I have a popular name and it drove me bonkers at school). eg Poppy, Hannah, Evie, Olivia

Can you help??? Think this baby might be nameless... Looking for classy names that won't date, are pretty but not too girlie and ideally outside the top 30/50.

Boys - maybe alexander or adam. urrghh who knows.

DS 1 is Louis.

HELP!!!!!!
(have name changed)

OOOh yes Elsa is a truly elegant name, really like Eliza too....

Clara is great
Clarabel for long
I guess Hermione is out if Helena is
Anna is timeless i reckon
My fave is Eliza (Elizabeth)

Elsa is great too. classy, timeless, a character

Elise
Elisa

How about Helen or Elaina?
Good Luck.

Thanks
Still here no baby and no name yet. Despite getting more baby names books from the library!

Susannah
Louisa
Jessamy
Elodie
Clara
Esther

Elin?

We have a Clara and have had loads of positive feedback because it's classic but not dated. HV said it was really nice to see one because all girls are Mia or Maya in our area

We loved Helena too but sister got in first!

Elisa/Elise
Elena
Felicity
Alexandra
Francesca
Sophia

Anna is beautiful and is timeless. Ditto Emma, Esther and Susannah

Caroline?

My god daughter is called Eloise - not sure that's been mentioned yet and might fit with what you're looking for.

Love Ottilie, Sophia (but she might get called Sophie a lot and whilst that is a nice name too, it isn't half irritating when people only 'nearly' get your childs name), Clara is lovely and I once knew a little girl called Maude which was really cute although I think you'd have to have a big personality to carry it off. Like Imogen too - unusual but not too unusual.

But, you know, I think Helena is great and if that's what you've set your heart on - well, go for it!

I think these old-fashioned names just sound so beautiful. Even if the sentiment is not so fashionable ATM, they are just gorgeous sounds.
