Old lady names

[super-bitch06.livejournal.com]

So I'm really into the 'older' sounding girls names - Eleanor, Miriam, Evelyn. I just wanted to see what everyone else's favorite 'old-sounding' names/combos are.

Eleanor
Kathleen
Josephine

Kathleen Eleanor sounds really good to me, but I think I want Eleanor as FN.

I love old names. My daughter is Evelynn. I love Eleanor, and if we have another one she'll be Margaret or Ruby.

I love older names as well :)

My favorites are Hazel, Iris, Pearl, Rose...

If I have a girl, I'd like to name her Olivia Rose or Olivia Pearl. I would prefer the name Hazel actually, but it's already my Boston terrier's name. Haha

If I have a girl down the line, she will be Adelaide Juliet.

I haven't found a middle name I like enough for it, though. Maybe Maude Theodora.

Evelyn is definitely one of my favorites.

I think my favorites for girls right now would be:

Evelyn Rose
Lillian Elena

(Lillian was my grandma's name and her brother is married to an Evelyn)

stella, alice, marguerite, hazel, and ruby.

Lillith
Margaret
Evelyn
Lillian

I really like Lillith Margaret, but as my 3 year old daughter is already Willow.. I can't use Lillith because it's too rhyme-ish.
