Re: Your favorites/least favorites
in reply to a message by Caroline
Favourites:
Susannah
Katherine
Eliza
Louisa
Agnes
Grace
Julia
Eleanor
Isabel
I also like:
Jane
Virginia
Margot
Sylvie
Cecilia
Celia
Frances
Rebecca
Diana
Adela - like pronounced AD-uh-la
Emily
Lark (as a mn)
Least favourites:
Laura - it's a fine name, but I know a really unpleasant Laura and that stops me from liking it.
Sally - I can see its charm but it's a bit dated where I'm from. Most English Sallys are in their fifties or sixties.
Laurel - again a bit dated, my mother has a good friend named Laurel.
Claire - dated to the 80s, don't like the 'lair' part of the name.
Polly - It's sweet, but a bit too cutesy, like Poppy, Milly etc.

Sally is dated here as well. :) I just have some sort of strange crush on the name.
I could see it making a comeback in a few years when 40s/50s names are on trend :)
