Old fashioned baby names

[neadyda]

hey everyone, I’m newly pregnant with baby number 3.

we will be finding out the gender of this little one but for now we are getting a list together for both boys and girls names.

I LOVE old fashioned names. Was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas of names.

I have a James (we call him Jamie) and Leo.

Thanks in advance x

Corisande
Delphine
Diana
Edie
Effie

Etta
Fabienne
Faye
Flora
Grace
Gwen
Ida
Imogen

Mila
Mina
Nelle
Nova
Olivia
Pearl
Sylvie
Vita

Boys:

Abram
Alfred
Barnaby
Bennett
Byron

Thank you so much for your reply. Lots of lovely names on there. I adore Ada and middle name would be Alice after my auntie but OH doesn’t like it. I though Ada Alice was a beautiful name. Xx
