Your favourite given names?

I’ve enjoyed the threads on disliked names and what name would you change your own to, so thought I’d start another!

My favourite names first and middle, if I had daughters rather than sons:

Annabelle Rose
Ivy Grace

I had a doll I called Petronella. No idea why .I like names that have been in the family for honks but the young ones don’t. One of my grandchildren is Lyllie, I quite like that.

Honks= yonks

I love this thread! Girls' names are so poetic and lovely to say out loud.I like reading them all.

I love the name Petronella! I also like Amaryllis.

If my eldest had been a girl he was going to be Melanie, still like that name. Second would of been Erin and I still like that too. Lucy is another.

I transcribe census/bmd records and every time I come across the name Keziah I always think that's pretty.
