I still really love the name even though we would never use it. I also loved Nell, but we realized someone might end up calling her "Nellie" and "Nellie and Ellie" sounds like something off of Hee Haw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-769341 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:38:14 +0000 Tidybee 769341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Claire was almost Jane or Kathryn (Kate). @Mrs. Twine: I really love Cora too, but DH didn't. We also had Abigail (Abby), Emma, Emily, Lucy, and Evelyn (DH vetoed) on our list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-769323 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:30:02 +0000 lilyann 769323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love your name ideas, especially Norah :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-769298 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:21:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 769298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lynden, Lydia, Evelyn, Everly, Lucy, Lillian, Layla, Clara, Kate, Alvine, Alice, Lena, Lela. </p> <p>(I have an obsessions with E &amp; L's for girl names as you can see!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-769231 Thu, 09 May 2013 07:48:54 +0000 Bookish 769231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My top three were Jane, Samantha, and Gwendolyn.

In my head it is classic because I first heard it when I was reading "Pride and Prejudice" (my favorite book of ALL time). What about Elizabeth? I always try to go to my favorite books for inspirations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-769184 Thu, 09 May 2013 07:18:15 +0000 Mrs. Twine 769184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cora, Clara, Nell. Those were our rejects. I still really love Cora. And I call Lorelei Laura-Cora all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-769169 Thu, 09 May 2013 07:13:46 +0000 illumina 769169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're almost 100% certain our daughter will be named Rose Evelyn. We too wanted classical names but not too popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-769136 Thu, 09 May 2013 06:55:04 +0000 heffalump 769136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love all of those names! We didn't have many options when picking out LO's name, which is Rose. Before that I said Sadie and DH vetoed. I also like Beatrice with the nickname Bea, and he said no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-769133 Thu, 09 May 2013 06:52:54 +0000 QueensBee 769133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are all pretty names! My friend named her daughter Vera, which I think is classic but still a bit unusual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-768970 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:31:51 +0000 sera_87 768970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Claire/Clara, Rose, Jeanne, Beatrice, Margot, Victoria, Emmeline, Sadie, Rebecca, Lucille, Cordelia, Wendy, Gwendolyn, Madeleine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-768964 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:28:29 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 768964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked Alva....Isis and Olivia. But.

One of our faves, but we wanted something less popular.<br /> Others we liked:<br /> Ramona, Mabel, Lillian </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/girl-names#post-768930 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:01:34 +0000 Vegmama 768930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had our boy name picked out for years, but still haven't found a girl name we love. Our little list has names like: Norah, Isla, Ruby, Penny, Olive, etc. I think they're semi unique, but are growing in popularity. Can you list some other names with that "classic" feel? Maybe names you considered? </p>
