Not asking for much am I!
I'm due in 4 weeks and still have no name for dd.
Ds has a traditional but not popular name which I love but can't find the same for a girl.

This weeks faves are: Emma and Elizabeth
Last weeks: Mary and Rose
Week before: Juliet and Julia

Emma and Elizabeth are abit too common place though now. I don't want anything too out there either!

Any suggestions???

All beautiful yet underused names. You probably won't meet any others and they will all look so refreshing on the school coat pegs.

Gilda does not get mentioned much.

Okay, if Thora and Gilda can be submitted then I'm going to say that I'm rather liking Linda at the moment.

And Pamela (but not Pam).

Susannah

or

Claudia.

Elizabeth is my favourite though.

Louisa is lovely too.

Madeleine
Esme

DandyDan · 27/03/2010 10:23

Elizabeth is still way down on the list of popular names, and I like that the best.

Mary is lovely and very unusual still at the moment.

Esme is great
