babynamesPeople keep telling me that my taste in names is all old lady (which I think is far better than sounding like a <insert racial stereo-type>)
My 3 girl name picks are Eva, Charlotte and Lucy. All of which I feel are great normal names that I would be proud to have and yell from my balcony at dinner time.
thoughts?

Date: 2005-12-07 12:04 pm (UTC)I think those are all lovely names, not really "old lady" tho. "Old lady" names to me are things like Ruth, Gladys, and Edith.
Eva makes me think of Eva Longoria (the actress from desperate housewives) and she's young and gorgeous (she also was on Maxim's hot 100 hehe).
Charlotte makes me think of someone sweet and innocent.
Not a huge fan of Lucy, but you don't hear it much anymore (although my friend just named her puppy that after "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" {her other dog is Abby as in Abbey Road} lol)
