I like [name]Helen[/name] and [name]Edna[/name]-
I think [name]Helena[/name] [name]Doris[/name] or [name]Edna[/name] [name]Mable[/name] would be cute combos.
These are my favorite:
[name]Dagny[/name]
[name]Viola[/name]
[name]Lula[/name]
[name]Agatha[/name]
[name]Harriett[/name] nn [name]Hattie[/name]
[name]Daisy[/name]

[name]Sally[/name]
[name]Lolly[/name]
[name]Marjorie[/name]
[name]Dovie[/name]
I love [name]Mabel[/name], but I have to say [name]Doris[/name] is not my favourite. [name]Dora[/name] seems more wearable a la [name]Dora[/name] the [name]Explorer[/name].
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Beth[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Geneva[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Elena[/name]
[name]Elva[/name] - a family name, short for “Elvaretta”
[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Louise[/name]
[name]Helen[/name] is also pretty, though [name]Edna[/name] feels a bit stuffy to me. I guess I just prefer softer sounding names.
[name]Mae[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name]
[name]Elsa[/name]/[name]Elsie[/name]
[name]Sabine[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Maggie[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
What about [name]Enid[/name]? Old lady clunky cute/cool, plus always makes me think of [name]Enid[/name] Coleslaw from the awesome book/movie “Ghost World.”
My favorite Vintage names have to be:
[name]Betsy[/name]
[name]Hattie[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Nella[/name]
[name]Sadie[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Mavis[/name]! Combines [name]Mabel[/name] and [name]Doris[/name], is vintage and cute nature name.
I would suggest [name]Maeve[/name], and her nn could be Maevie/[name]Maevy[/name]. [name]Maeva[/name] is also very pretty. [name]Mavis[/name] works too because it has the beginning of [name]Mabel[/name] and ending of [name]Doris[/name].
[name]Lorna[/name]
[name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]
[name]Thora[/name]
[name]Nora[/name]
[name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Joyce[/name]
[name]Eileen[/name]
[name]Evelyn[/name]
We named our little girl (born this year) [name]Mavis[/name]. I have no regrets!
I get so much positive feedback about her name from friends, family, and strangers.
So far her nickname is Mavie.
Her big sister is [name]Beatrice[/name].
That same midcentury “diner waitress with some sass” feel…
[name]LOIS[/name] (please bring back [name]Lois[/name]-- it is so lovely)
[name]Irene[/name]
[name]Dinah[/name]
[name]Arlene[/name]
[name]Myra[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Nell[/name] / [name]Nella[/name]
[name]Gladys[/name]
[name]Doris[/name]…really? I love vintage names, but you really need to think about the little girl wearing the name. Would she really want to be named [name]Doris[/name] with all the [name]Emma[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Sophie[/name], and [name]Amelia[/name]'s out there? I sure wouldn’t want to be. [name]How[/name] about these lovely vintage gems:
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Corinna[/name]
[name]Hattie[/name]
[name]Harriet[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
The women in my grandma’s family:
[name]Mabel[/name]
[name]Doris[/name]
[name]Esther[/name]
[name]Mary[/name] [name]Jo[/name]
[name]Florence[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Jean[/name]
[name]Joyce[/name]
[name]Gladys[/name]
[name]Lucille[/name]
Names I think have similar feel to [name]Mabel[/name]:
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Helen[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]! its vintage but verry cute. please dont pick doris…
