in reply to a message by Steph
I love all three names, and wouldn't shy away from them if I really loved them. Other old-fashioned classics that are bit less popular that I can think of:
Cecelia
Caroline
Margaret
Isabel/Isabella (which I can't stand, but does fall into this category)
Jane
Lydia
Lily
Lillian
Amelia
Anne/Anna
Beatrice
Susannah

I can't stand Isabel either! Ack. It's very trendy, unfortunately.I have been thinking that I really like Caroline lately. Thank you! Amelia is also very pretty, but too popular for me. I'm one of those people that dreads others having the same name as her child. ;)

Caroline is popular!We named our daughter Caroline, thinking we were avoiding the sure-to-be-a-hit Charlotte, but found it is fairly common. I truly have met fewer Charlottes!

Oh, I know. I do like it though... yet it's probably doomed to stay on that list of 'Names I love but can never use'. =(

Well,obviously, we liked it, since we chose it. An unusual variant, I realized later, is simply Carol. It was so often picked in the '50s that it is a rarity for a little girl today. Good luck to you!

You really need to cool it- you're being quite the hypocrite. I'm not dismissing any names; I'm entitled not to like the names people are suggesting. With each and every one I am saying the names I like and the names I don't, as well as thanking them for their input. Just because someone suggests something, does not mean I'm obligated to like it. Nor did I ask for opinions at any point. So you're really talking about nothing here.

If you had read the post of the person who suggested the name, she had also said that she couldn't stand it. So I agreed with her. Case closed.And I'm calling you a hypocrite because I have said these exact same things to you before (about dismissing others opinions when you asked for them), except that mine was based on reality.

Haha. Well I just meant in the sense that he's telling me not to do something that he does. Even though I wasn't really doing it, which just means he's a hypocrite with no basis in reality. =PBut yes, very annoying. Heh.
