We had a boy (Theodore) but our top girls' names were Margaret and Eleanor.

Both our children now have names that are top 300-400, so they might be heard occasionally, but it's pretty rare. DH and I both like traditional spellings and older names, but somewhat uncommonly used. I'm starting to become confident we won't have a name picked out until after the baby is born!</p> <p>So far on our list we have:<br /> Miriam (Mimi)<br /> Marianne (Possibly May or Annie?)<br /> Josephine (I like, DH doesn't)</p> <p>Boys:<br /> Luke (only name we are drawn to for a boy and it is fairly commonly used around our parts, so that is our only deterrent!) </p>
