    I love Isabel or Isabella. Maybe it's because I'm such a Twilight freak

    Of course I like Evelyn and Margaret Soft spot for Phillipa (was second choice for DD2), but I think it will be quite popular now due to Miss Middleton.

    Phillipa was originally my first choice for a 2nd DD if we have one (nickname would have been Pip) but not keen anymore since the emergence of P-Middie. So Evelyn has jumped to the top

    I love Mabel and Nella, but both sound stupid with our surname.

    My Pop's name was Ozzie Bert. Really wish I has the guts to use it.

    Audrey and Eleanor were high on my list for girls names but DH doesn't like much. PITA.
    They were relegated to middle name possibilities and at this stage neither are being used! Massive sad.

    I love classic and timeless names... not so much the 'oldies' - I think some outgrow over time but there are so many beautiful ones that have been mentioned!!
