Wow I wasn't expecting so many choices..you guys are great..someone asked my daughter's name..she is Aaliyah Michele....if I do have another girl we know her middle name will be Suzanne after my late mother-in-law...just have to pick the first name now...

Our family and extended family have brought back from our ancestors Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary. Other names that come to mind are Jane, Lillian, Blanche, Maryanne, Cynthia, Doris, Francine, Jacyline, Penelope, Rose, Victoria...Enjoy your children and god bless. Robin

Love the old fashion names : Grace, Catherine and Caroline! Good luck with you search and your new bundle of joy!

These names goes back to early 20th century and some earlier;
Victoria, Catherine, Emma, Lydia, Martha, Marie, Josephine, Anne, Belle, Blanche, Louella, Elizabeth, Frances, Maureen,Patricia, Augusta,

My daughter's middle name is Maisey. We both loved it but didn't want it as a first name so she wouldn't get teased.

I love flower names....very old fashioned. Rose, Lily, Daisy, Violet, Hyacinth, etc. You can make a girl's name of almost any flower name - you could even choose your favorite flower...

You can enter in a year (way back to 1878) and find out what the top twenty names were in the way-back times.

Gertrude, Margaret, Frances, Katryn. Congratulations and good luck!

Charlotte, Louisa, Miriam, Elsie...
Good luck! :)

Hello. I went w/ "A" names for my girls. My oldest is Annelise and my youngest is Abigail. We learned the name Annelise from a movie about Ann Frank. I guess that was her original name. Good luck. Julie F

My second daughter is Abigail Grace - and we call her Abbie.

You can go to the social security admin to look up names - I think someone else recommended this too and provided the link. I did that with my first daughter, Natalie. We named our second daughter Amelia, which everyone told me would be too old fashioned but we love the name.

Some other names - Elizabeth, Willa, Olive, Olivia, Clara, Clare, Virginia, Beverly

I've always loved LILLIAN, but named my 2nd daughter Lynnae which is not common. Gretta just came to me and Merideth. Good luck! Heidi

Hi Marlene

Do you know your family history? You might want to choose a name from the family tree. My oldest daughter is Anastasia and she's fifth generation with that name in our family -- it switches each generation from first to middle name, through my mother's side of the family. We've had Stasia, Annie, Ana, derived from that name and each Anastasia seems to be happy she has the name. I also have a Marianne and Laura.

You could go with something that reflects your cultural heritage, or just something that sounds good. Be aware there are plenty of Lily (Lillie, Lilly) girls around now and tons of Emilys, Ashleys and Emmas. One cousin of mine named her daughters Lydia and Adeline -- nice old fashioned names. You don't hear Adeline very much these days either. In the 50's there were plenty of Patricias and Catherines plus the inevitable Mary xxx - fit Jane in or Ann, Pat, Claire, whatever other name you wanted to join to Mary. I only know of one Patricia in many recent years. Same with Susan. So you might want to consider those names.

Ask any elementary school or preschool teacher you know and they will tell you what the hot names are so you can try to avoid using those names.

There's always my name -- Rosemarie. Not many of us around either!

Congratulations and good luck. Naming babies can be quite a challenge!

I don't remember the names of the "Little Women" girls, but I'm sure you could look it up. I also love Jane.
