[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all,
We are expecting a baby girl addition to the household in only a few months time. We already have 3 boys so were ecstatic when we found out we are having a girl. The boys names are all pretty old fashioned and the surnames begins with a K.
They are:
[name_m]Albert[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m], (17/4/2012)
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] [name_m]Henry[/name_m] [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], (5/9/2014)
[name_m]Alfred[/name_m] [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] [name_m]Dennis[/name_m]. (14/7/2016)
The pattern with all the names is an old fashioned first name that isn’t too common a middle name that is common and both mine and hubbies family like and another middle name honouring somebody from our family. For example: [name_m]John[/name_m] is my Fathers and Granfathers name [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] is hubbies Fathers name and [name_m]Dennis[/name_m] is my Gread Grandfathers name who dies just before [name_m]Alfred[/name_m] was born.
We live in a rather posh area of [name_f]England[/name_f] ([name_m]Kensington[/name_m] - [name_u]London[/name_u]) and my Fathers side especially are the type of people to turn their noses up at a name like [name_u]Riley[/name_u] or [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u].
I really do hope that this isn’t too much of a challenge for you all.
(P.s the baby girls middle name will be [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f].)
Did you change your mind on [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Therese[/name_f]?
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Louise[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Grace[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]May[/name_f] [name_f]Catherin[/name_f]
Yes we did my best friend announced today that she was calling her daughter who was not a few weeks ago [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] so we decided that we also like the name [name_f]Lily[/name_f]- may but thought it did not go with [name_f]Therese[/name_f] so we picked my mother in laws middle name [name_f]Catherin[/name_f] instead.

I really do love [name_f]Edith[/name_f] but my husband keeps saying it is too much of an old ladies name. What do you think.
Personally I also feel it is an “old ladies” name, but it has vintage charm and sweetness to it. The little girls in the Despicable Me movies have “old ladies” names like [name_f]Edith[/name_f] and [name_f]Agnes[/name_f] but they are adorable characters!
I agree totally and this is what I have been saying to Hubby but he also keeps on saying that he is not sure that she will be so keen on the name aged 15ish this is one of my concerns for the name to. What’s your opinion it is great to have and outside opinion.
Thank you
