Old fashioned girls name

[AnnaR2B]

I have my boys names set...Ted / Arthur but i really want an unusual yet old fashioned, yet pretty name for a girl. My top choice at mo is Mabel, but i want some back up in case she doesn't look like a Mabel!
Any advice - cool gran names???

Our little girl is called 'Matilda'

I found this web site which has loads of 'old'names on
http://www.angelfire.com/id2/heathersna ... names.html

Aw ta, wow Minxy...good taste - what name did u decide upon if you don't mind me asking? I'm a teacher so too many names are out for me, i teach too many snotty nosed brats that i couldn't name my child after, and its terrible having the same name as someone else in your class!
Tuck --- i love matilda but its been claimed by 2 of my friends, one's daughter we call matilda, the other Tilly for short.
Any more for any more???
