Please tell me if you think these names are too common. My husband and I both have unusual names so we don't want our baby to have a really unusual name, but not overly common either.
Ellie
Bronte
Georgie
Gracie
Holly
Holly was the only name that doubled up in the last babies' room that I worked in.
BUT there's none at the centre where I work now, where there are 3 Graces.
I haven't seen a lot of Ellies, Brontes or Georgies around. All of them were pretty common 8 or 9 years ago, but have sort of petered out now.
I love all your choices. I only know 1 Bronte, a couple of Hollys and 1 Ellie-Rose. I know a few Graces but no Gracies, although I went to primary school with a Gracie but I am old
My sister is considering calling her baby Alli if it's a girl but I much prefer it spelt Ellie or Elly.
Hey stellas mum
One of my very close friends just had a DD and named her stella - gosh is gorgeous.
but on subject, I've come across quite a few georgias (georgie they get nicknamed) in my teaching days!
the others i've heard of, but definately not common
good luck with your decision
I think they're all unusual enough but not too unusual
I'm a Holly - I don't know anyone else called Holly except for HollyM & Hollye on here
I teach an Ellie (spelt Elle) - she's the only one I know & she's 16yrs.
I teach quite a few Georgia's (or Jorja's) - but no Georgies
I only know of 1 Bronte in DS's class at school,
Don't know any Gracie's, but I teach a little girl called Graycin - she gets Gracie for short
I think they're known enough to not misunderstand or mispronounce them, but not common enough that you should double up at school etc... they're all lovely
DD is Grace ( gracie) before we chose it i hadnt heard it alot, now i hear it all the time, but thats ok, i still love it! and i have heard holly a little bit, but the others not so much. i like bronte!
Wow- Bronte is such an awsome name! I love it.
Georgie is great too, it puts a unique spin on the more common Georgina
I work in child care and we seem to see alot of Hollys.
Stellasmum - our pregnancies are so similar and so are our names choices. My first daughters name is Georgie and we have Holly short listed this one (Tillie is our other short listed name). I really like Bronte as a name but DH name is Brad and we don't want anyone having the same first inital and there is already a Bronte in our family.
