My Grandma was one of 7 girls all born between the years 1918-1937 and you have featured 3 of their first/middle names so I love them all for that reason. For anyone else interested in names from this era they were/are called: Grace Margaret Ellen Lillian Mabel Muriel Constance Marjorie Ethel Ruth Miriam Joyce Enid Gwyneth Mavis My great grandma was also called Rosina and Great Aunt is called Heather so I have absolutely loved this video! Thanks SJ xx
Oh my goodness your granny's name is so close to mine! I am Grace Margaret too and my third name is Cylyste (pronounced Celeste, it's a family name) which can be shortened to Yllie (Ellie)!
Yay thank you for fixing the missing end! 🥰 so in love with these vintage names! My little boy is Ernest and we nickname him Ernie , loving “the old man vibe” and we get sooo many compliments!
I’m naming my daughter Constance, that was my great grandmother’s name and she was the first person in my mother’s family to welcome my father into the family with open arms, everyone else hated him (because he came from a rough background and didn’t make a lot of money at the time). But when he met my great grandma Constance for the first time, he extended his hand to shake her hand, and she said “oh you stop that, come here!” And gave him a huge bear hug, she adored my father. Not only that, but she was also a very bold and determined woman. When she was 17 years old she ran away with my 20 year old great grandfather Alvin to get married, she was almost disowned by her father for that. Oh how my great grandpa Alvin adored her, he completely doted on her, never raised his voice once at her even when they argued, he brought her flowers every Tuesday, and he absolutely adored their children. Their marriage lasted for 67 years until Constance passed from cancer, and we were all shocked that Alvin didn’t die of a broken heart. He followed her to Heaven ten years later, in 2013. I’m planning on naming my daughter after her great great grandmother Constance, Connie for short ❤️
I love the name Estelle. A popular name here in the Southern part of Georgia in the U.S.A. is Estlee or Estley. I think that is a pretty name. I also love the name Esmé. I love the French language. To me a name is all about sound and people's personalities.
A bit random, but I was doing a bit family history research last night and discovered my great great grandmother was named Zelma and I think I am in love! I love the unique/rare aspect of it, and it seems like such fun name to have. Now let's see if I can convince my husband!
Hi SJ! I have been watching your name videos, they are the best! I absolutely love how you use SJ and I might snag it for my own baby girl. You also gave me the idea of using the name Juniper. I'd love people's opinion on my top 2 name choices (first, middle): Leighton Isla or Sloane Juniper (SJ for short) I haven't heard you talk about the names Leighton or Sloane and would love to hear more about these names.
Hello! Love your videos! We are foster and adoptive parents. I came across the French girl name Yvelise that I researched showing it’s height of popularity was in 1950’s. There is also a Spanish version. I found pronunciation on UA-cam. I really need to know more. Is it a “made up” name combining Yves and Elise or was it a stand alone name? Meanings? I am considering if we adopt next baby girl! It looks like it would sound like a double barrel name which would be great since we are in southern USA. Also, I go by my middle name, Yvonne. So...
my favourite vintage name is Fauna. I've only seen it used twice once in a "interview with sound in the 1920's to elders" or something like that and a true crime case from the 1910's (lol) although it's also the name of one of the sleeping beauty's fairies and one of the jointed twins from the addams family is called fauna too. definitely using it in the future ❤️
My grandmother's favorite author is Maud Hart Lovelace, who wrote the Betsy-Tacy series of books (an author and series most comparable to Laura Ingalls Wilder and the Little House on the Prairie books). I think all three parts of the name are truly beautiful, and they flow together so well! I just had to share this when I heard that the first name was Maud.
I would LOVE a babyname list all about Rose names as you mentioned in this video. Love all of your babyname vids... I have been obsessed with names since I was a little girl (I would check out a stack of babyname books from the library and just make lists and lists!). We are expecting our seventh baby (good thing I love names eh?!) at the end of Feb 2020... and if it's a girl, a Rose name would be lovely. I am OBSESSED with your videos and have been binge watching them all for weeks now! 🥰😍
I don't know why this is a thing that stuck with me, but the name Joyce always makes me think of a secretary. It seemed to be the name of every movie secretary in the 90s.
Heather and Rosina were the names of my best friends in secondary school! Never heard their names on name lists before! I love their names so much!! My nan on my mums side was Joyce and my middle name Joy if after her! Much love from Scotland ♥️
don't know if you can see the comment on yesterday's upload so there you go: Joyce is so popular here in Brazil and sounds so modern to me. I'm obsessed with the names Theodora Sage and Eleanor Rose (I'm a Virgo so yeah I do have a pattern haha). If I had to name two girls today those would be the names, However I think Maud is beautiful as a middle so it'd definitely be on my list. I love Millicent too and I'm pretty sure is Barbie's middle name (Barbara Millicent). I loved this video, you know I'm a vintage freak lol I wish I had an old lady name, Matilda maybe ? (funny enough I was named after my grandma but Leticia is really modern haha She was the only Leticia in the 30's). P.s: what a cute guest I think you should keep her. And I can totally see her as a Marigold.
I like your daughters name💕 Also love Constance and millicent... My first daughter, Sophia Kathryn ( because I love the name Sophia Loren and my grandmother’s name was Kathryn. It wasn’t at all popular at the time, now every where. The same happened with me my mom thought Courtney was so rare and unique but later every where, lol!) Nice video!
I’m a primary school teacher and in one of the classes I teach there’s 3 Rosinas 😳 think there’s about 7 across the school! Also have a Heather, Eileen, Gwendoline, Nancy, Joyce and loads of Otilijas (o-tilly-ya). Boys aren’t getting away with it either - have a Gustave, Harold and a Floyd, and don’t get me started on the oodles of Stanleys Arthurs and Alberts..
Hi! As a complementary information about a name from your video, I want to inform you that (I’m a French Canadian) Maude is a well known name around here without being too popular if it can help anyone. Love your videos!
Maud : So so cute, great Maeve alternative! Millicent : I could absolutely use this name with the nickname Mitsy! Joyce : This is my mother-in-law's name, I think it's super dated here! It might be refreshing on a boy here though! Marjorie : So pretty! I like the Margery spelling too :) Constance : I have a wonderful friend whose name is Constance Luisa, isn't that beautiful? She's about 30 or so. Rosina : Sooooo sweet! Nancy : I have a horrible family association otherwise I'd be crazy about this name, especially as a NN for Anne!
Love the name Rosina. Mama had a maid after the war named Rosina that they were trying to sponsor for US immigration but she had TB and had go back behind the Iron Curtain. She always spoke fondly of her so the name has good connotations for me.
A bit off topic: my great aunt's name is just Connie and my grandfather has called her Constantinople for as long as I can remember, hearing Constance just reminded me of that XD
My grandma's name was Marjorie Lee but she hated her first name and just went by Lee. Even when she died she had us not put Marjorie but just M. Lee instead in her obituary and little name stone. My middle name is Marie Lee after both my grandma's, so I assumed I'd incorporate them when I have a daughter, but now you have me wanting to use Marjorie and call her Margo or Joie or something. My grandma would be so angry at me if I used that name and I know the nickname would become Marj (which we don't like), but Margo is so precious!
I like the maud it’s so sweet and a little edgy! A name I love that I feel has been forgotten is tallulah? How hipster but beautiful is that! Iv never met a tallulah but I think it’s a gorgeous quirky name that I think should be brought back ❤️👍🏻
Love all these names. I really like the name Jasper for my son one day. And if I were to have another girl it would be Winifred Jean. Winnie for short. I hope no one takes this name, I love it and haven’t seen anyone use it. Jean was my grandmothers middle name. My daughters name is Josie Wren.
I grew up in a city with two busier streets named Mathilda and Maude. Almost all of these names are in my family - too many to list. I was supposed to be "Heather" but my cousin got it. My mom spelled my name with one "L" because she knew I'd be different. A moniker of mine growing up was Hazel. I love your take on names. Also, well done on your beautiful human, Evelina Blossom, or eventually EB? Smiley emoji!
Also, I hated my name growing up. I wanted to be called "Ann". I'm adopted. My biological mother named me Gardenia. I'll stop disclosing all of this personal information now. Not that it would help any ne'er-do-wells. Cheers!
I had Marjorie on my list but my husband didnt like it. I love it. Shes a character in Game of Thrones (spelled differently of course) and that's where I fell in love with it.
My grandma is very into genealogy and one time we were sitting on her bed going through some books or notes (I don't remember the source honestly) of people from our family generations and generations ago (since my grandma knows how into names I am she thought it was be cool to look at all of the names) and I saw the name Patience and I just fell in love 😩😩😩 I know virtue names were pretty popular back in the day... like WAY back in the day... but I have been holding onto that name if I ever have a girl. Not sure how practical it is but I love it so much! And Patty as a nickname is so sweet, especially since Patricia is my middle name and I was named after my aunt Patty who actually tragically passed away just a couple weeks ago. Just the thought of a little Patience being called Patty makes my heart melt 😩😭😂
I'm not sure Nancy will come back anytime soon due to its slang usage... Heather was a very popular baby name in the US in the 80s. I have a feeling it will come back around again. I know several Heathers and think it's a beautiful name. I have a cousin named Connie (Constance) and have always thought it a beautiful name. It's one of my more favorite virtue names as I don't think it is too pushy on a child. Marjorie is a GoT name, so we may just start to see that popping up (although she isn't a super well liked character).
My daughter just named her daughter Iris. Her middle name is Ona after haer great great grandmother. Just thought you would enjoy hearing two lovely old fashioned names for a girl.
I love all of your videos but this list was super as I'm really into classic names that are still unique today so my children aren't in a class full of kids with the same name. My husband and I love watching the Tinkerbell movies with our kids and our favorite fairy is Rosetta, and we joke that if we had a 4th child and it was a girl that would have to be her name so Rosina was a great take on that Rose-ish name too.
My great grandmothers name was Maude! I’ve thought about this name a lot but it’s just not feminine enough for me. My great grandfather did have a nickname for her though and it was Maudie which I think is a lot cuter and is on my list!
My Great Aunt was Rosina. 💗 We're from Kentucky, USA so it was pronounced Ro-zEYE-nuh. Her nickname was Toots. LOVE it. My great grandmothers were Geraldine and Edith. I'm obsessed with those names as well. However, I'm momma to two boys. Jude Declan and Cooper Reid. 😊❤
Can you do a video of names with multiple/unusual spellings! I’m Maddi (Maddison) and there are so many other spellings of my full name and short name! Xx
Here in the US, it seems to me that Heather is still on the outward side. It kind of persisted through the 60's-70's before exploding in the 80's, when I was born. I can't tell you how many sisters of Heather, Holly, and/or Heidi I've met, my own family included. I've also been in groups of women with as many as 3-4 Heathers. Keeping track of us can be crazy. As a result, I feel kind of cheap and outdated when I hear my name.
My name is Marjorie, I’m 30 and from Canada. I never have another Marjorie as a classmate until I got to university. Really not a common name but I love it! :)
My name is Maude! I was really surprised to see my name in this video! What you said about my name was so lovely😍 Also where I live, Maude is a really common name
Nancy is one of my sisters middle names! Her name is Lillia Nancy Isabel and Nancy is after my great nan, I think it’s a lovely name and definitely gaining more popularity because I know 3 other little girls called Nancy! Also one of my best friends is called Millicent, she gets called Millie but I think it’s a gorgeous, dainty name
I have a baby girl called Lillilth (typically spelt Lilith) which is absolutely love. I wanted something more formal than just lilly and all of a sudden I blurted out lillith and then we stuck with it!Love this video Xx
Aw, your daughter is so sweet! So, I'm trying to talk my husband into the name "Eowyn" from Lord of the Rings for our expected girl, but he thinks it's too strange! I really like the sound of it, plus I just love the character of Eowyn from Tolkin's story (and the movies) she is such a beautiful balance of feminine, gentle, loving as well as also being brave, strong and fierce! I love that she lets herself be venerable to others, which I think a lot of us don't do these days, but she also can protect herself, and others. One of my favourite women in literature, and I think you could use "Winny" as a nickname. I really hope I can talk my husband into it more! I haven't ever heard the name used outside Lord of the Rings
BABY NAME DILEMMA: I am currently pregnant with my first child and am thrilled to finally start mulling through names I have always loved and actually have a reason to! I binged a bunch of your videos and came across Percival for a boy. I instantly fell in love and have loved in since then, but when I suggested it to my SO he shot it down. I am so torn. We don't know what we are having yet, but are having a hard time agreeing on a name because I want a name that no one else has and he likes things a little more trendy. In conclusion, what are some boy names like Percival that you think both me and my SO will both like?
Whenever I hear the name "Constance" my mind goes to The Three Musketeers 😍😍 I'd love to use the names of my great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, whose names were Ada Lavina and Miriam Virginia.
What about Oleander for a girl (or a boy for that matter)? It shortens so many ways: Ollie, Lee, Leander, Lea. It's a type of flower. It's also a super rare name.
Maud is quite big in the Netherlands actually, I know quite a few Mauds. But in our language it sounds a bit softer I think, maybe that’s why it’s more populair over here?
I love your baby names. 31 weeks pregnant and still no girl names that me and my husband love. We don’t no what we are having but I think we are ok for boy names. My grandma is Marjorie and my sister is Connie 😊 I think Millicent is my favourite 😘😘 thank you SJ xx
I love heather but i could never use it because it reminds me of the movie and the musical 😭nancy and constance are gorgeous though, i had a skating coach called nancy and i always loved her name
I need help! My baby girl is due in just 7 weeks and we still haven’t decided on her name. We had initially settled on Annelise, but I just couldn’t stay attached. I also thought of Eloise and Catherine. We may be thinking Cordelia now. How do you feel about those? I need your opinion.
Millicent has been a favourite of mine since I was a young girl but immediately vetoed by my husband. However we went on to have 3 boys so haven't had the chance to use it anyway.
I am currently pregnant with our rainbow baby after two miscarriages and we have a vintage baby girls name that we absolutely love! We are trying to come up with a one syllable middle name that is significant to a rainbow baby or faith related but also unique. I was wondering if you would be able to help me out! 💗
I am 33 weeks pregnant with my 4th baby. I have a girl called Kloe Elouise, a boy called Spike Charlie and another boy called Kingsley Sid... this one is going to be another boy and I would love something that is very individual but also I love nature and Welsh themes at the moment...do you have any ideas x
Please make a baby name list called ‘Literature/poetic baby names’!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Melissa Thomas smnxnzn

Maud
Millicent

Grace Margaret Ellen
Lillian Mabel
Muriel Constance

My great grandma was also called Rosina and Great Aunt is called Heather so I have absolutely loved this video! Thanks SJ xx
Rachael Hughes wow they’re all amazing but LILLIAN MABEL 😍😍😍 omg!! I would 100% steal that and use that for my kids 😹
Oh my goodness your granny's name is so close to mine! I am Grace Margaret too and my third name is Cylyste (pronounced Celeste, it's a family name) which can be shortened to Yllie (Ellie)!
Miryam is my name :)
Yay thank you for fixing the missing end! 🥰 so in love with these vintage names! My little boy is Ernest and we nickname him Ernie , loving “the old man vibe” and we get sooo many compliments!
Isobel Cowley oh I absolutely love that name and love the Oscar Wilde play xxx
Will you do a roman name list at some point? I loved all the names in this video, I prefer old names to new ones. :)
Claudia Gurr oh yeah I’ll have to research it!
@@SJ_Strum I think my favorite Roman name is Livia, and it's similar to Olivia which is still very popular so it could be a good option!
I’m naming my daughter Constance, that was my great grandmother’s name and she was the first person in my mother’s family to welcome my father into the family with open arms, everyone else hated him (because he came from a rough background and didn’t make a lot of money at the time). But when he met my great grandma Constance for the first time, he extended his hand to shake her hand, and she said “oh you stop that, come here!” And gave him a huge bear hug, she adored my father.
Not only that, but she was also a very bold and determined woman. When she was 17 years old she ran away with my 20 year old great grandfather Alvin to get married, she was almost disowned by her father for that. Oh how my great grandpa Alvin adored her, he completely doted on her, never raised his voice once at her even when they argued, he brought her flowers every Tuesday, and he absolutely adored their children. Their marriage lasted for 67 years until Constance passed from cancer, and we were all shocked that Alvin didn’t die of a broken heart. He followed her to Heaven ten years later, in 2013.
I’m planning on naming my daughter after her great great grandmother Constance, Connie for short ❤️
Constipated
Beautiful story and a big won at it
Connie is sooo cute ❤️
Could you do a babyname video with musical names? I think a lot of musicals have amazing names, so I think you'd have fun with doing that!
That baby is DARLING.
my great grandmother was named Estelle. always thought that was gorgeous
I love the name Estelle. A popular name here in the Southern part of Georgia in the U.S.A. is Estlee or Estley. I think that is a pretty name. I also love the name Esmé. I love the French language. To me a name is all about sound and people's personalities.
This is one of my favorite videos from you❤️ I love having your daughter toddling about. It gives a bit of visual interest😊
Evelina is so adorable and smart. Saw her in the backround feeding both of her dolls with a bottle :) soo cute.
Iva Bolin so cute
I love your hair here! One of my favorites over the years.
A bit random, but I was doing a bit family history research last night and discovered my great great grandmother was named Zelma and I think I am in love! I love the unique/rare aspect of it, and it seems like such fun name to have. Now let's see if I can convince my husband!
Kristina Ross wow that’s perfect!
Really pretty! And how special that it's a family name 🤗
That’s amazing.. such a cool and unique name

I love Eloise and Dorothy which are both old lady names in the us, though Eloise is making a comeback I think
my favourite vintage name is Fauna. I've only seen it used twice once in a "interview with sound in the 1920's to elders" or something like that and a true crime case from the 1910's (lol) although it's also the name of one of the sleeping beauty's fairies and one of the jointed twins from the addams family is called fauna too. definitely using it in the future ❤️
My grandmother's favorite author is Maud Hart Lovelace, who wrote the Betsy-Tacy series of books (an author and series most comparable to Laura Ingalls Wilder and the Little House on the Prairie books). I think all three parts of the name are truly beautiful, and they flow together so well! I just had to share this when I heard that the first name was Maud.
I know a lady who named her daughter Margaret Maude. Nicknamed Maggie Maude. Loving Maude as a middle name.
It’s wonderful how much time and effort you put into these videos, it’s greatly appreciated! 💓💓💓
I just came across the name Ivelle and I have never heard it before and fell in love with it.
I would LOVE a babyname list all about Rose names as you mentioned in this video. Love all of your babyname vids... I have been obsessed with names since I was a little girl (I would check out a stack of babyname books from the library and just make lists and lists!).

I don't know why this is a thing that stuck with me, but the name Joyce always makes me think of a secretary. It seemed to be the name of every movie secretary in the 90s.
Love this so much :) so glad you fixed the ending too😘😘😘
Kerry Whelpdale thanks Jezza! I’ll never know what happened! 🙈
My boyfriend and I have loved Marjorie for years!! Definitely at the top of my list
Nancy is so so adorable! Not often I add one to my list but this one's going on! 💗
I like Maude, it reminds me of the film Harold and Maude. Also, I think the color is called mauve
Loved these names! I think Rosina and Constance are my faves although I love Maude too xxx
Heather and Rosina were the names of my best friends in secondary school!
Never heard their names on name lists before!
I love their names so much!!
My nan on my mums side was Joyce and my middle name Joy if after her!
Much love from Scotland ♥️
Eek, Constance and Majorie are such beautiful names!
I have a Felicity and a Charlotte. But I’m looking a good vintage name for our next one. I love all of these!
Could u do a word names video ?:)))) I freaking love them! For example: Joy, Ever, Story or lavender
Love love love
Your daughter is so adorable! Many blessings!
don't know if you can see the comment on yesterday's upload so there you go:
Joyce is so popular here in Brazil and sounds so modern to me. I'm obsessed with the names Theodora Sage and Eleanor Rose (I'm a Virgo so yeah I do have a pattern haha). If I had to name two girls today those would be the names, However I think Maud is beautiful as a middle so it'd definitely be on my list. I love Millicent too and I'm pretty sure is Barbie's middle name (Barbara Millicent). I loved this video, you know I'm a vintage freak lol I wish I had an old lady name, Matilda maybe ?

And I can totally see her as a Marigold.
Letícia Ribeiro is she Barbara Millicent!!! I love that!
Maude is actually super popular in French Canada (Quebec)! It is spelled with an e which I think adds softness to it. I like this name loads
Loved this! Would you think about doing a historical baby names list? idk if that's too broad a subject 😂
I like your daughters name💕
Also love Constance and millicent...
My first daughter, Sophia Kathryn ( because I love the name Sophia Loren and my grandmother’s name was Kathryn. It wasn’t at all popular at the time, now every where. The same happened with me my mom thought Courtney was so rare and unique but later every where, lol!)
Nice video!
Nancy is such a classic. I love it
I’m a primary school teacher and in one of the classes I teach there’s 3 Rosinas 😳 think there’s about 7 across the school! Also have a Heather, Eileen, Gwendoline, Nancy, Joyce and loads of Otilijas (o-tilly-ya). Boys aren’t getting away with it either - have a Gustave, Harold and a Floyd, and don’t get me started on the oodles of Stanleys Arthurs and Alberts..
You should do a collab with Jodie Izzo for Italian baby names - she seems so lovely and would be really interesting names x
Charly McCormack oh yes I will!!!! X
My top three girl names are:
Constance
Anastasia
Caroline
❤️
My oldest daughter’s middle name is Anastasia.

I love the name constance and the nickname Connie. My daughters name is Patience, it was my Grandma's name ❤️
chelseawelsea123 wow I love it - so gorgeous and unique. Just perfect xxx
So cute! ♡
that’s crazy, my names constance and my cousin is patience ❤️
I like the maud it’s so sweet and a little edgy! A name I love that I feel has been forgotten is tallulah? How hipster but beautiful is that! Iv never met a tallulah but I think it’s a gorgeous quirky name that I think should be brought back ❤️👍🏻
I’m Millicent Ayse
I get called Milly Ayse
Ayse pronounced like “I share”
I would love to see a video about rose names! 🌹🌹🌹
Joyce is a mix of Joy and Grace :)
THINKLILLY oh yes!!! Lovely xx
Love all these names. I really like the name Jasper for my son one day. And if I were to have another girl it would be Winifred Jean. Winnie for short. I hope no one takes this name, I love it and haven’t seen anyone use it. Jean was my grandmothers middle name. My daughters name is Josie Wren.
Millicent is beautiful! When I was growing up I had the book ‘Millicent and the Wind’ by Robert Munsch. If you can find it, it’s a good one!
I grew up in a city with two busier streets named Mathilda and Maude. Almost all of these names are in my family - too many to list. I was supposed to be "Heather" but my cousin got it. My mom spelled my name with one "L" because she knew I'd be different. A moniker of mine growing up was Hazel. I love your take on names. Also, well done on your beautiful human, Evelina Blossom, or eventually EB? Smiley emoji!
Also in the family are Velma, Vonda, Vera, Verna, Thelma, and Lucille. There's even a Wanita.
Also, I hated my name growing up. I wanted to be called "Ann". I'm adopted. My biological mother named me Gardenia. I'll stop disclosing all of this personal information now. Not that it would help any ne'er-do-wells. Cheers!
Rosina is gorgeous! Heather is very 80's (the movie Heathers) but without that connotation, I love it. It sounds soft and boho.
I had Marjorie on my list but my husband didnt like it. I love it. Shes a character in Game of Thrones (spelled differently of course) and that's where I fell in love with it.
My grandma is very into genealogy and one time we were sitting on her bed going through some books or notes (I don't remember the source honestly) of people from our family generations and generations ago (since my grandma knows how into names I am she thought it was be cool to look at all of the names) and I saw the name Patience and I just fell in love 😩😩😩 I know virtue names were pretty popular back in the day... like WAY back in the day... but I have been holding onto that name if I ever have a girl.

Ahhhhh! My 2 year old is Rosina. It’s a family name and we love it!! Made picking our youngest’s name really difficult as it’s so different x
Heather reminds me of an 80s and 90s name. I feel like all those 80s baby names are so rare now.
I'm not sure Nancy will come back anytime soon due to its slang usage... Heather was a very popular baby name in the US in the 80s. I have a feeling it will come back around again. I know several Heathers and think it's a beautiful name. I have a cousin named Connie (Constance) and have always thought it a beautiful name. It's one of my more favorite virtue names as I don't think it is too pushy on a child. Marjorie is a GoT name, so we may just start to see that popping up (although she isn't a super well liked character).
My daughter just named her daughter Iris. Her middle name is Ona after haer great great grandmother. Just thought you would enjoy hearing two lovely old fashioned names for a girl.
I love all of your videos but this list was super as I'm really into classic names that are still unique today so my children aren't in a class full of kids with the same name. My husband and I love watching the Tinkerbell movies with our kids and our favorite fairy is Rosetta, and we joke that if we had a 4th child and it was a girl that would have to be her name so Rosina was a great take on that Rose-ish name too.
Regina Mead oh I love the flower fairy names! I might do that list but feel like I’ll dress up ha ha ha!
My 93 year old grandmother is Rosita! Close to Rosina that you mentioned. She goes by Zita and I’m considering it for a middle name ❤️
My great grandmothers name was Maude! I’ve thought about this name a lot but it’s just not feminine enough for me. My great grandfather did have a nickname for her though and it was Maudie which I think is a lot cuter and is on my list!
I have a great aunt named Maud! Very surprised to hear that one on the list, it's such a unique name that has definitely been forgotten
My Great Aunt was Rosina. 💗 We're from Kentucky, USA so it was pronounced Ro-zEYE-nuh. Her nickname was Toots. LOVE it. My great grandmothers were Geraldine and Edith. I'm obsessed with those names as well. However, I'm momma to two boys. Jude Declan and Cooper Reid. 😊❤
I go to church with more than 6 Heathers! That makes me kind of feel like it’s overused 😅🤷🏻♀️
Can you do a video of names with multiple/unusual spellings! I’m Maddi (Maddison) and there are so many other spellings of my full name and short name! Xx
Chose vintage names (Inez, Roslyn, and Selah) for my daughters, but none of those on your list. Love vintage names
Here in the US, it seems to me that Heather is still on the outward side. It kind of persisted through the 60's-70's before exploding in the 80's, when I was born. I can't tell you how many sisters of Heather, Holly, and/or Heidi I've met, my own family included. I've also been in groups of women with as many as 3-4 Heathers. Keeping track of us can be crazy. As a result, I feel kind of cheap and outdated when I hear my name.
My name is Marjorie, I’m 30 and from Canada. I never have another Marjorie as a classmate until I got to university. Really not a common name but I love it! :)
My name is Maude! I was really surprised to see my name in this video! What you said about my name was so lovely😍 Also where I live, Maude is a really common name
Love Heathers (the film) there's now a musical of it it's brilliant!!!!
Nancy is one of my sisters middle names! Her name is Lillia Nancy Isabel and Nancy is after my great nan, I think it’s a lovely name and definitely gaining more popularity because I know 3 other little girls called Nancy! Also one of my best friends is called Millicent, she gets called Millie but I think it’s a gorgeous, dainty name
I have a baby girl called Lillilth (typically spelt Lilith) which is absolutely love. I wanted something more formal than just lilly and all of a sudden I blurted out lillith and then we stuck with it!Love this video Xx
Could you do one on Welsh names please? My investor's name was Nesta-Welsh for Agnes; & I'm descended from her daughter, Angharad..
I know so many Heathers. At least 12. Probably the most popular name for people my age (mid to late 20s) and above that I can think of.
Loe your videos. When you mentioned the name Nancy ... I thought I much prefer the nickname Nance.
Aw, your daughter is so sweet! So, I'm trying to talk my husband into the name "Eowyn" from Lord of the Rings for our expected girl, but he thinks it's too strange! I really like the sound of it, plus I just love the character of Eowyn from Tolkin's story (and the movies) she is such a beautiful balance of feminine, gentle, loving as well as also being brave, strong and fierce! I love that she lets herself be venerable to others, which I think a lot of us don't do these days, but she also can protect herself, and others. One of my favourite women in literature, and I think you could use "Winny" as a nickname. I really hope I can talk my husband into it more! I haven't ever heard the name used outside Lord of the Rings
… it's pronounced "A-O-win" for those who aren't LOTR fans ;)
I’m a Millicent but always been nicknamed Millie x
BABY NAME DILEMMA: I am currently pregnant with my first child and am thrilled to finally start mulling through names I have always loved and actually have a reason to! I binged a bunch of your videos and came across Percival for a boy. I instantly fell in love and have loved in since then, but when I suggested it to my SO he shot it down. I am so torn. We don't know what we are having yet, but are having a hard time agreeing on a name because I want a name that no one else has and he likes things a little more trendy. In conclusion, what are some boy names like Percival that you think both me and my SO will both like?
My friend just had a little boy named Percival or Percy for short, so cute! What did you end up choosing?
Whenever I hear the name "Constance" my mind goes to The Three Musketeers 😍😍
I'd love to use the names of my great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, whose names were Ada Lavina and Miriam Virginia.
What about Oleander for a girl (or a boy for that matter)? It shortens so many ways: Ollie, Lee, Leander, Lea. It's a type of flower. It's also a super rare name.
Maud is quite big in the Netherlands actually, I know quite a few Mauds. But in our language it sounds a bit softer I think, maybe that’s why it’s more populair over here?
Margie is a cute shortening for Marjorie also.
I love your baby names. 31 weeks pregnant and still no girl names that me and my husband love. We don’t no what we are having but I think we are ok for boy names. My grandma is Marjorie and my sister is Connie 😊 I think Millicent is my favourite 😘😘 thank you SJ xx
Jorie would be a really cute nick name for Marjorie!
YAY THESE KIND OF NAMES ARE MY FAVES
I love heather but i could never use it because it reminds me of the movie and the musical 😭nancy and constance are gorgeous though, i had a skating coach called nancy and i always loved her name
Bel so glad you love them x
I need help! My baby girl is due in just 7 weeks and we still haven’t decided on her name. We had initially settled on Annelise, but I just couldn’t stay attached. I also thought of Eloise and Catherine. We may be thinking Cordelia now. How do you feel about those? I need your opinion.
J Benedicto-Mullins Cordelia is one of my favourite names. You could maybe have just Elise as the middle name, if you liked that sound? Or Eliza?
Millicent has been a favourite of mine since I was a young girl but immediately vetoed by my husband. However we went on to have 3 boys so haven't had the chance to use it anyway.
7:08 That was adorable!!!!
Couldn't do Nancy or Joyce because it reminds me of Stranger Things. I love Maude though
I am currently pregnant with our rainbow baby after two miscarriages and we have a vintage baby girls name that we absolutely love! We are trying to come up with a one syllable middle name that is significant to a rainbow baby or faith related but also unique. I was wondering if you would be able to help me out! 💗
I knew a girl named Heather when I was younger & she completely put me off that name
My best friend in High School's name was Heather (her nicknames was Heath pronounced like the boy name) so to me the name will always be a favourite ☺
Love these videos so much
I am 33 weeks pregnant with my 4th baby. I have a girl called Kloe Elouise, a boy called Spike Charlie and another boy called Kingsley Sid... this one is going to be another boy and I would love something that is very individual but also I love nature and Welsh themes at the moment...do you have any ideas x
River, Phoenix, Lake, Zephyr, Oakley, Cypress, Cedar, Winter, Westley, Orion, Indigo, Sage, Onyx, Bellamy, Lane, Sky, Azure, Huntley
I love the baby name Marjorie 💓
Yes I have a Connie!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
