I think the old-fashioned names are the best. I've come across some lovely ones in my family tree. :-)

I wanted to call our eldest d Sarolta but SWMBO refused. Said it sounded like Sir Walter!!!

My names are Carmen Vanessa Rebecca Zoe Shane Yes they are all names of my children but i also like Georgina and Lilly . Cath

So why do you like the names you like? Do you like the sound of the name? The spelling? The meaning?

I like: Rebekah Keziah Dorothy Eva Louisa Beatrice Georgina Harriet Martha Susannah Abraham Arthur Frederick Herbert Euisdean Jeremiah Samuel Sidney Edmund Ernest And I quite like my name (Lucia Constance) :-)

oohh Bec im not fussed either lol

Rebekah (and prefer this spelling) - like the name but love this spelling as it is not very common. Elspeth - love the sound Rwth - just because it is biblic and welsh together. All the others for meaning and sound

Harriot I love and it turns out to be a family name and I didn't know it!! But must admit would shorten it to Harry!! Which is another family name which I knew about!! :O)

My favourites are for girls - Ella Grace Charlotte Molly for boys - Daniel Caleb Joshua Ethan Elijah I dont know why I like the names Ella,Grace and Molly I just think they are really lovely names. Charlotte was my very favourite character from sex and the city! I love biblical names for boys. I can't have Joshua, Ethan and Elijah for me though cos those are my nephew's names! x

Juliana - Your name is lovely!!!

Ah Bec - thank you! I was originally going to be called Eva but my sister's best friend was a Greek girl called Juliana and she loved the name. After my sister died when my mum was 8 months pregnant with me, she called me Juliana Antonia (my sister's name) Eva Louise. I used to hate the name cos I could never find anything with it on, but now I've got used to it. x

Juliana - Your names sound very poetic! xx I'm surprised so many people like Rebecca/Rebekah! How many people know sisters who are Rebecca/Rebekah and Rachel?? I have met loads!

hee hee, I know x I love the name Rebecca - I know a few sisters called Rachel and Rebecca. But I know loads of Lucy and Kate! My mum's a teacher and she once had twins called Pearl and Ruby Diamond! x

have just read through other peoples and was about to say CHRISTIANA and ISABELLA then saw that jeanette had put the same ones! isabella is my gt gt maternal grandmother and everyone knew her as bella, i always thought she must have been very brave to come to scarborough from gateshead, marry and settle here probably not knowing anyone. my grandfather who would only just know her always spoke of her. christiana is to me a more elaborate way of saying my own name.tina my late mother in law used to always call me christina, but i was christened tina not christina . i also like aaron, another ancestor who i would have liked to have met it make me think of a strong man (no idea why!) harrison is quite a popular christian name in my family and make me think that the family was very close that they had to name so many with this name. tina x

I love my two grandaughters names Neve and Maisie! Davex

I like: Evangeline Lilly Iona Angela Brendan Ethan Alfie Joseph I do have some more but can't remember off the top of my head I wrote them all down in my diary about a few years ago. Bit silly as I'm only 19! Sx
