Isn't Hester a girl's name? I like Larkin and Ophelia.

 

[lauren-kate]

My friend's boys are called Edward and Arthur - she loves traditional names!

 

[Pyrrhic]

Isn't Hester a girl's name? I like Larkin and Ophelia.

Yep! Typo on my part

 

[Tegans Mama]

I love Ephraim. I am a huge fan of Hebrew names (I'm Jewish) but my OH isn't.

 

[coccyx]

Ooooooo, not keen on any of those

 

[x-amy-x]

only one on there i actually like Micah

 

[AppleBlossom]

I don't like any of those, they remind me of something out of a jane austen novel lol but each to their own

 

[bubbles]

I like Cedric, Basil, Penelope, Rosemary, Jemima and Tabitha. We have chosen our names for this little squeak already, Alfred for a boy (NOT Alfie) and Elsie for a girl. We're suckers for traditional names

 

[Tasha]

Oh I like quite a few on the girls list, none on the boys list but then I cant think of one single boys name I like atm.

LOL, that's probably why I like most all of them!

I love Clementine. We actually thought of it, but had such trouble with a middle name! We had a friend name their little girl "Olive" and it suits her...and them--they own a bistro.

I also love Elspeth, but when I think of it, I envision a statuesque blonde with a graceful neck and we're both on the small side--it's quite a name to carry around!

I knew a girl called Larkin (her sister was called Siri), but never a boy. And my husband's best friend as a boy was called Ptolemy Slocum! I recently saw him in a film credit!

[Zo23]

These names are not too unique, but just not as popular as they used to be:

Melissa (Missy/Mel)
Nicole (Nico)
Lauren (Lulu)
Julie (Jules)
Whitney (Whit)

 

[AC81]

my husband loooooooves the name Ephraim and is trying to convince me if we have a boy to call him that.

 

[samface182]

i dont like any of them to be honest! and my cats name is tabatha

 

[dontworry]

Olive is one of my very favorite names. I also love Micah (Mee-cah, not My-cah), ever since I saw Paranormal Activity. Kind of a bad reference but I don't have to tell anyone that. Cadence is really nice, too, but it wasn't listed.

 

[RubyRainbows]

I recently named my new kitty Penelope!

I've always liked the name Tabitha... but can't say i'm too fond of any of the others!

I'd like to see the name Gretchen used more often, i think it's really pretty!

 

[Kel127]

I love Ephraim and Emmett but my family and DH said no to both
