Fairly conservative but not overly popular girls names

**Calluna** · May 11th, 2013, 01:41 AM

Better get onto this as were almost half way!!
DS name is I.saac N.eil.
Last name starts with W ends in Ton.
I like not too common but fairly conservative names, I think.
I dont want her to share a name with 3 or 4 other children in her year at school. IYKWIM?
Middle name might be Ann/Anne as its kind of a family name, but not decided yet

After a bit of a Google tonight here is my girls list so far in no particular order-

Lucy
Alexis (Lexi)
Gabrielle (Gabby)
Isabelle (Izzy)
Caitlin - or other spellings? (Katie)
Cailin (Cai)
Madeline (Maddy)
Kiomi (too different to Isaac? I like it though...)
Macey
Charlotte (Charlie)
Mikayla (Miki)

(Oops, lol! Im sensing a pattern with the nicknames

)

What are your thoughts, anymore suggestions?

I like Caitlyn. DH always liked Lexi and I do too except it rhymes with se*y ha ha! That just makes it too easy for school kids to tease. Love Alexis too.

Our DD is L.iana M.ay - biased but I love it as its uncommon but very normal and easy to spell. And its very pretty. Have only ever come across one other and that was after she was born (and was an older lady). I think it goes well with Ann/Anne.

DD2 is M@cey, that is my pick from your list

I think Isabelle you will find popular, out of your list it is the only one where I know quite a few little girls with that name. I have a soft spot for Gabrielle too but, I have a cousin with this name but so many people get her name wrong and call her Gabriella because it is the feminine version.

I like M@cey/M@cy too but friends called their dog that so after that I could no longer consider it

it's pretty though and not common.

Awe what a shame but I am the same when it comes to animals and names. DH fav boys name is Max but I have meet so many dogs with that name.

Our DD is Penelope (Penny).

We also liked:
Edith
Louisa
Lydia
Caroline
Georgina (a touch too popular perhaps?)

My grandfather's twin sister was Daisy. I think it's such a gorgeous old name and doesn't get much use.

I had a cat called Macy so I couldn't do that

I have seen a lot of Isabelle, Gabrielle and charlottes so I think they are quite common. We have genevieve an Juliette but other names we were considering are

Audrey
Penelope
Catherine
Natasha
Saskia
Eloise
Claudia
Evelyn

Agree Daisy is a great name. I'm not biased or anything

Simone
Nicole
Josephine
Jennifer

Apart from Is@belle (I'm slightly biased there), my faves from your list are Lucy and Charlotte (I'd love to use these names but close friends did).

we had the same drama and named our dd Kim.ber.ley. I don't come across it often with girls her age..

From your original list, my DD has Alexis, Gabrielle, Isabelle x 2, Caitlin, Madeline, Charlotte & Mikayla in her class at prep this year.

ETA I loved most of the names already listed in this thread, but we either had friends, or family, or a pet with those names..

I am also a big fan of "character" names that are desirable character traits:
Grace
Faith
Hope
Patience
Constance
Charity
Chasity (haven't heard that one used in a while)
Prudence
