Hello all!


I'm trying to expand my horizons and think of some more fairly traditional, longer boy and girl names.

Ooh, I am swooning over your kids' names. Just lovely!

I must say I don't consider "Savannah" to be a traditional name. (Yes, it is long, though.)

How about:

Caroline or William or Alexander

I agree...I like Savannah, but it is not a traditional name.

Savannah - This is a bit trendy for my taste, but it is pretty. What about Susannah or Selena?

Amelia - It's very pretty and traditional; I just hear it too much lately to be very interested in it at present. Amalia is similar, also very pretty, and less common. Ditto for Adelia and Adalia.

Eleanor - I like it, but I like Helen and Helena even better.

Gwendolyn - I like it, and I seldom hear it.

Samantha - I like this name, but I guess I just hear it too often to find it interesting any more.

Danielle - I have never warmed up to Danielle. I just don't find it very attractive. I like Danica, though, or Noelle or Giselle.

Jocelyn - I like it!

Harrison - This is probably just me, but I'm tired of the surnames and -son names. Some H names I like are Hal, Harry and Henry.

Benjamin - I like this very much. I also like Benedict.

Timothy - I have always found this name a bit soft. I'm not crazy about it.

Griffin - Nice but trendy; I prefer some other G names, such as Gareth and Garrick.

Zachery - This is fine.

Jameson - I love James, but Jameson is too trendy for my taste.
