I’ve been searching for a girl name that is strong, smart, non-frilly, and I secretly also love the rather eccentric, old fashioned names the Telegraph families name their kids.
For example, I would certainly name my kids [name]Edward[/name], [name]Hermione[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], [name]Juno[/name] and [name]Peregrine[/name].
([name]Cordelia[/name] fits, except its too frilly. [name]Ottilie[/name] is difficult to pronounce, otherwise it would be on the list too)
I feel like I’m running out of options, especially since I’ve been scouring British [name]Baby[/name] Names etc and nothing has really jumped out at me!
i love the name celeste! it’s my fav from your list. aside from beatrice, (the recent mass appeal of this name astounds me), they are all strong and lovely.
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Astrid[/name] (unfortunately my hubby doesn’t). If I used it I was thinking [name]Didi[/name] would be a cute nickname.
I rate [name]Juno[/name] too.
Other names I like are [name]Miranda[/name] and [name]Sydney[/name] (this is my fave, but I live in [name]Sydney[/name] so it would be too weird to use it)
Thank you all so much! I’m going to review these lists tonight, and see if anything clicks! Maybe I need to take a break from names, and when I come back to it, something will look good!
