Another Name-Thread: Classic/Traditional Names

[Amygdala]

Hey ladies!

I should be working so need something to take my mind of that

So how about you help me collect some nice classic but not too common names? I soooooooo love classic names with a little nanny-chic but haven't found specific ones I like with our surname. So come on, hit me!

I'll start you off

Frederick
Harold
Joseph

Elizabeth
Hermione (LOVE it but don't want to expose LO to all the Harry Potter jokes)
Elsa (although that's really just short for Elizabeth?)
Margaret (LOVE it but can't use due to family politics )

It's funny actually as our boy name is quite modern but our girl name is much more classic/traditional... Daisy
