I have to go get ready for work.. so I'm writing this real quickly!

But, I've been searching for really old fashioned names, and the namebook I've been looking at hasn't been quite helping. And websites I look at are just the usual old fashioned names (ie Charlotte, George, Henry, etc). But I'd like more than just those! My naming style has been including a lot of older fashioned names.. and I'd like some suggestions of more!

Currently, my favorite girls name is Maeve Isolde. [Maeve Isabel is still an option, but for today this is it]. Both very old fashioned and not just the common every day old fashioned names. Underused and still gorgeous imo

Wow, I can write a lot real fast! Getting proud of my typing skills hehe! But anyways, can you guys help me please? I'm open to absolutely any old fashioned names that come to your mind! I'm just looking for possible additions to my name list (I'm getting kinda bored of it. I mean, the names are so perfect in my mind! But, it's boring to have the absolute perfect names set and not have any others to play with... if you know what I mean. I want more to work on, and to love. In addition to Maeve and Kate <3).

Thank you soo much!

It might be a good idea to check out the US census records (for popular names) or Ancestry.com (which has more obscure names) where you can find names that were actually in use. You might have to do a bit of digging.

Awesome! A lot of these names I knew I loved before, but I certainly did find some additions to my list!

I'm thinking family names might help a lot.. and I want more family names to be added into the bunch!

Mothers side:

grandma- Barbara Mae
grandpa- Richard (though everyone called him Nick, after his last name. He was in the military where last names go first and his ln is long haha! So he's called Nick, or Nicodemus by close family haha)
aunt- Barbara Mae
aunt- Donna Lee
aunt- RJ [doesn't like her name on the internet]
mom- Pamela Ann
uncle- Richard
uncle- Phillip
cousin- Randi Lynn
cousin- Robert
cousin - Alex Phillip
cousin- Callie Elizabeth
cousin- Thomas Michael
cousin- Noah James
cousin- Gracie Alexandra
great uncle- Cosmo
great aunt- Elsie
great aunt- Charlotte

[I don't remember the other family members names :/]

Dads side:
pepe- Robert
grandpa- Romeo
memere- Edna
aunt- Marilyn
aunt- Carol
aunt- Shirley
aunt- Terri
uncle- Russ
uncle- Roger
dad- Richard Allen
cousin- Jayson
cousin- Christopher
cousins kiddo- Marissa
cousins kiddo- Taelor
aunt [in some form of way] - Christine
cousin - Zoey
cousin- Timothy

[haven't even met most of that side of the family, but the ones above are the ones I know of!)


So I'm thinking I'll find ways to add some of them into my name list :) I already have names to honor grandma/aunt from mums side of the family [their mn Mae] by using Maeve. I'll look into more haha! <3
