I was in a playground the other day and heard a lady calling "Albert, Albert come here". I thought it had to be a dog as it was such an old fashioned name but she went and held the hand of a little boy and said "Bertie it's time to go". She then went and collected his sister, Maisie. Obviously people who loved old fashioned names.

I love Miles but spelt Myles obviously! :lol:

love Olive, Violet and Emmiline.
Love Finley Lincoln and Wyatt!

You have great taste Miss Amy! I really like all of them :)

I like Ivy and Bethany also and Daisy.

I LOVE Poppy.

It seems that I like Flowers... Daisy, Poppy, Violet, Iris, Ivy (a plant anyway).

I love Bethany (Bethanee) & Elsie....

Bethany and Wyatt both seem really modern to me.

Anyway, most of the names I like are sort of old-fashioned, but these are my favorites:

Adeline, Anne, Augusta, Beatrice, Cecilia, Celia, Charlotte, Clara, Clarissa, Clothilde, Dorothea, Flora, Frances, Harriet, Helen, Iris, Ivy, Jane, Joan, Judith, Lavinia, Lilias, Lillian, Lucy, Marguerite, Mary, Olive, Selina, Tabitha, Viola, Wilhelmina

How about Dolores? Nickname Lola.

Ooooh sorry but some of the old fashioned names just remind me of old grannies with perms!
However, Lois, Pearl, Stella, Eve. Lola, Grace, Charlie Thomas and Jonte are lovely to me. No old ladies spring to mind whatsoever!:D

DD#2 was going to be Lola Eunice Jean if she wasn't Evangeline Ruby Hope! I love old fashioned names :)

How about Dolores? Nickname Lola.

I love that idea. I was never a fan of Lola on its own, but it is cute as a nickname.

I wish a lot of the old nicknames would come back as nicknames instead of full names, like John nicknamed Jack, instead of Jack on its own.

Annabelle
Lola
evette
Eve
Odette
winnie
Maggie

Sorry poor effot no boys names but Im stumpt for boy names :redface:

Jasper and Matilda are my favourites.

I LOVE Evangeline!

Our last name is Ev.. (left the rest out for security) and I would love an Evie Ev..! But DH isn't convinced! Also like Declan for a boy - Dec for short.
