Have you seen this list?

know a Tabitha - although this reminds me a bit of a cat's name - maybe too much like Tabby! Her sis is called Octavia!
Have taught a couple of Aprils too.
Hope / Faith / Grace are quite common at the moment.

Hmmm.. little*Red...i'm liking Flora from that list!!

OOOh be careful with that!!! There was a girl at school called Flora and she was picked on something awful for 'spreading easily'. Not really something a teenage girl should be known for!!

A shame tho, it is a nice name otherwise....

 

[AnnaR2B]

never thought of that

[libs]

we have a Sophie and a Minnii in our family - we also liked Tilly (after my Nan)

Whoever suggested Francesca (much as I think personally it's the best name in the whole wide world ) it's not old - it only became popular in this country in the 1980s thanks to the TV show Bread . Before that i was pretty unusual

Eunice
Iris
Hettie
Joyce
