[Opinions] Re: Are there names you would like to see more on little kids?
in reply to a message by KK
I've come across two little ones named Mary over the last few years and I was tickled pink both times. I asked both parents if they were named after grandma's and both times the parents said some variation of they just liked it, which is pretty interesting! Other names I would like to see more of for the littles: Doris, Bernice, Florence, Nellie, Alice, Laura instead of Lauren, Edith, Helena, Dorothy, Louise and Louisa, Hattie, Mattie, Mae, Faye, Flora, Lottie, Marguerite, Maude, Esther, Heidi, Marian, Leona, Lela, Winifred, Betty, Margery / Marjorie, Rhoda, Corinne, Lenora, Thelma / Thelma-Lou, Minerva, Veronica, Maybelle, Charity, Vada, Frederick,Francis, Clyde, Martin, Edwin, Edmund, Otto, Jesse, Stanley, Percival / Percy, Cecil, Cyril, Roscoe, Sylvester, Benji, Alonzo, Alphonse, Cornelius, octavius, augustus, Aurelius, Cassius, Claudius, Septimus, Tiberius, Titus, Rusticus, Quintus instead of Quentin or quincy, Maximus, Lucius, Julius.Honestly, if they just started bringing back a lot of the ancient Roman names I'd be
a pretty happy camper. It's fun to imagine my future children's best friends being Aurelius and Calpurnia as opposed to Jaxon and Teegan... * I know some of these are already in use again but I'm just talking about names that I personally haven't come in contact with too often yet, if at all, on the kidsPlease rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.
