These names are just for fun. Feel free to be as honest/mean as you want.

I love:
Eleanor - I don't consider this old at all! I think it's gorgeous and has certainly made a comback in the last decade or so. I especially love it as a middle name.
Adelaide - I prefer Adeline, but this is really nice as well. Not old at all! I've seen it a lot on name websites in the last year or so. Addy/Addie is such a cute nickname!
Margaret - I was never a fan of this name, but I recently fell in love with Margaery from Game of Thrones and that is really similar so this has grown on me. Maggie is an adorable nn!

I like:
Louise - I love this name a lot, but only as a middle name
Mary - not my style, but it's not horrible.
Judith - not my style, but not bad. I think it could be really amazing in the right combo
Edith - same as Judith. It's not my style and I would never use it, but it could be great in the right combo
Alice - decent enough name. It's gotten really popular because of Twilight so be aware of that. Would work great as a middle name

I dislike:
Mavis - horrible, would never use :/
Ethel - same as Mavis. Really bad. :/

I find that Judith, Mary, Edith, and Alice would work really great in a combo with a double middle name. Two more modern names would really balance them out.

I hope I could help!

I Love:


Eleanor - I've always enjoyed the look and sound of this name. Ever since I learned about Eleanor of Aquitaine when I was seven or eight I was in love with the name, and wanted to name my future daughter it for quite some time. My cousin now has a daughter named Eleanor though I'm unsure of the spelling.

Louise - Another guilty pleasure of mine. I love the look of Louise but hate the sound. I met a Louisa in real life a couple years ago a year or so younger than me. I think it'd be lovely to meet sisters named Alice and Louise! But then that makes me think of Princess Alice and Princess Louise tbh.


Alice - my great great grand aunt, I was given her middle name and she was supposedly quite short with reddish hair, she got murdered in 1977 long before I was born though. I think it'd look cute and adorable on a little girl, and would love to see meet an Alice in real life! When I see it I think more Alice in Wonderland instead of Twilight.

I Like:

Margaret - my great grandmother's name. She was supposedly a horrible mean old woman, so I can't get that image out of my head. I think it's usable and sweet though.

Edith - This is probably my guilty pleasure "ugly" name. I think it's ugly in general, but would love to meet someone named Edith. I could never use it on an unfortunate little girl myself though!

Adelaide - Is a pretty name, but not for me. If I met a little girl named this it would be cute. I think it's usable.
Mary - Commonplace and boring to me. I know a snooty rich girl named Mary in real life.

I Dislike:

Judith - always reminds me of salt or Two and a Half Men. I just couldn't see it on a little girl at all.

Mavis - I detest this name. It reminds me of an old woman with prunes.

Ethel - It's an okay name, it's just not a name I would ever truly like or choose. Tolerable.
