older English names.

[kelly1979]

Hi, i am at a blank with names. I like to have a few that i like so i have a selection to choose from once he/she arrives. When my eldest daughter was born and i knew she would be Robyn, she just looked like someone called Robyn and with my youngest , Robyn decided that if she had a baby sister she would be called Amy and as i convinced myself i was having a boy i agreed. Low and behold i had a girl and she just didnt look like an Amy and Jessie she became. Even the midwife commented that Amy didnt suit her so having a few to choose from would be really helpful. I work at school so choosing a mane is difficult as its hard not to associate a name with someone you know eg, a really naughty child. I like the older names at the moment, names of our grandparents and the only two i have at the mo is Elsie for a girl and Ely for a boy. our surname is Harrison so the names like Harriot or henry or anything else begining with a "H" would be abit of a tounge twister. please help me out and give me plenty to put on my list. thanks xxxx

James.. its a bit older but James Harrison sounds so gentleman like
also theres Jack which is GORG and Nicholas, Charles, Walter, Alfie, Aurther, Archibald,

Emily is a gorgeous name that would fit lovely with Harrison too.. & it can be shortened to Emma, Milly, Emi to fit with the modern names Robyn & Jessie.
more suggestions.. Hayley, Lillian, Samantha, Elizabeth, Josephine?? ok thats french lol but worth a wee try.
you might picka name right out but i hear you can have one for deff and you see the baby and you just know it's not the name you picked and can be totally different.
