Classic girls names

[Mary Poppins]

So hubby and I have agreed we would quite like a vintage baby name for our little girl. Favourite at the minute is Florence, I also like Beatrice but he is not so keen. I don't want anything too common, any suggestions very welcome xx

 

[Hutchy]

I love the name Audrey - not sure if that's classed as vintage or not lol!
My friend has 3 girls called: Betsy May, Elsie Boo and Dolly Pip - absolutely love their names - and not too common - although Betsy is getting quite popular now xx

There are so many lovely options! I love violet and Mabel along with Elsie but hubby isn't keen! Hutchy your friend has fab tastes in names! We have esme pearl and Belle lilac. Next ones middle name will be honey, just need a first name! X

Loooooove Violet - but oh well, I'm biased as that's my daughter's name Also..loooove Beatrice, but again, I'm biased as that's her middle name haha!

Thanks so much for your ideas everyone ~ there are so many beautiful options out there, but can't help but feel I have stumbled on 'the one' yet! X

 

[Elliott]

We are pretty settled on Maggie still, it was one fo the first names we cae up with and seems to be "the one" as we've found nothing we like as much at all.

I like the older names but it's tricky as some ar becoming very popular again.

 

[Mary Poppins]

That's the trouble, I don't want anything too popular, like a name to be unique, but there are so beautiful names out there ~ hubby is just very picky! Wondering now about felicity ....

Maggie is very sweet! X

 

[Holi]

Verity? Penny? Nancy? Pearl? Dorothy (dotty)? Sally? Alice? Betty?

We have a Rosie and although not too popular it's still in top 50 and rising I believe! Xx

 

[Mary Poppins]

I love pearl, but it is my step daughters middle name so don't want to use it ~ it is gorgeous though! Also love primrose with Rosie for short but that's a no go from hubby ~ damn these dads! X

 

[Holi]

How annoying! I love primrose (first heard it on hunger games)

My oh didn't like/want Rosie when I first suggested it but he came round!

What about Harriet? Hattie/Harry for short?? Xx

 

[Mary Poppins]

Oh I haven't seen hunger games, didn't know there was a primrose in it. My oh is coming round to Florence, so am just leaving him to get used to that one for the mo ~ haha! Not too keen on Harriet x

 

[Holi]

Florence is gorgeous I love Florry for a toddler/little girl

What about olive? I heard that the other day on a film and I really liked it! X
