    i LOVE "little old" names - have had quite a few conversations at work with Mum's who cop flack for giving their kids older names - but i think they are gorgeous! I think a generation of "little old men" and "little old lady" names is in order lol

    in terms of names in particular - Girls - Emerald (well duh!), Rose, Ruby, Pearl, Iris, Lily, Audrey (so many more, but i can't think!)
    for boys - Thomas, Charles, Harvey (DH's dad's names lol), Edward, Robert (my grandfather)

    i tend to like names that are uncommon, but not too out there. and ones with family links or meaning to the parents as well.

    my job has me seeing a whole range of names, and i'm always more drawn to the older names for some reason
