Victorian names?

So. I was wondering if Victorian names - like [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Hetty[/name], [name]Eliza[/name] - are in fashion. Me and my hubby are having our third daughter and we like [name]Charlotte[/name] - A Victorian name if I’m right - but my hubby also adores the names [name]Hetty[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name]. We’re thinking of [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Hetty[/name] or [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Eliza[/name], but we want to know if Victorian names are nice, because if we have another girl we want to call her [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Hetty[/name] or [name]Eliza[/name].

Victorian names are absolutely in fashion. Have you taken a look around this site recently? Berries love them! :slight_smile: [name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] is beautiful.

I think that any era can be in fashion- lots of biblical/Colonial/Victorian names are timeless and classic. I really love [name]Charlotte[/name]- it’s such a pretty, sweet name with lots of nn possibilities. I like it with [name]Eliza[/name] as a middle name. [name]Victoria[/name] isn’t a personal favourite, but it’s still a name that won’t go out of style. However, I think that [name]Hetty[/name] isn’t so timeless. It’s a name that doesn’t fit in 2012 as well as [name]Charlotte[/name] or [name]Victoria[/name] do.

[name]Hope[/name] this helped!

[name]Charlotte[/name] and [name]Victoria[/name] are lovely as sisters.
[name]Eliza[/name] is very well loved on here. However, [name]Hetty[/name] I don’t like.

I think [name]Harriet[/name] nn [name]Hetty[/name] (or something like that) would work better than [name]Hetty[/name] on its own. The rest of them are good to go as they are and fit in as perfectly now as they did in Victorian times.

[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] is a pretty name, very common on English girls - I know of 2 with this exact name and both are over 20 years old.

[name]Eliza[/name] [name]Charlotte[/name] would be beautiful, and seem a little more modern to me than [name]Charlotte[/name], although if I’m right [name]Charlotte[/name] is a pretty new and rising name in the UK?!

[name]Hetty[/name] is a nn for [name]Henrietta[/name]/[name]Henriette[/name] and so would work better as a nn rather than a full name.
[name]Charlotte[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] is very Victorian/Edwardian and I like it.
[name]Eliza[/name] without the [name]Elizabeth[/name]/[name]Elisabeth[/name] part is more Colonial than Victorian.

[name]Caroline[/name], [name]Beatrice[/name], [name]Eugenia[/name], [name]Irena[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Dorothea[/name], [name]Edith[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name]/[name]Elinor[/name], and [name]Francesca[/name] are also Victorian.
