Ok, I think I've probably seen all your posts now. You're due today?!? OMG!

Well, if you read what I posted after your poll, you know that I think Charlotte is the perfect name. It is my favorite old-fashioned name, and it is my daughter's name. I liked all the names on your list, too.

Here are some other good old-fashioned names that I like a lot, just to confuse you. I'm going to throw in a few that I think are overlooked. Charlotte is starting to get a little popular. I find that with my daughter, people say 1)It's a beautiful name that they haven't heard for a long time, or 2) It's a beautiful name and they know another baby with the name Charlotte.

Annabel

Beatrice

Caroline

Camilla

Georgianna

Imogene

Mabel

Patience

Violet

I think Patience Elizabeth Farley sounds very pretty.

Good luck!!!!

First of all, good luck, and lots of speedy, easy delivery vibes your way.

That said, weren't you at one time considering Lola? I like the sound of Lola Charlotte Farley! Has it been crossed from your list? Refresh my memory!

I love old-fashioned names! My favorite ones are:

Louisa (If Madonna can get Lola out of Lourdes, surely you can get it out of Louisa! Or if not Lola, how about Lulu, which I do think is cute as a nn only)

Anna

Margaret

Helen

Helene

Lillian

Clara

Evelyn

Eva

Lucy/Lucia

Violet

Iris

Genevieve

Lydia

Sylvia

Vivian

Caroline

Naomi

Cecilia

Rosalie

Lila

Audrey

Annabelle

Georgiana

I don't care for Charlotte with Farley as a first name, but I think it's fine as a middle name. I like all of the above with Charlotte and/or Farley, but my favorites are probably:

1. Louisa Charlotte Farley

2. Lola/Lila Charlotte Farley

3. Vivian Charlotte Farley

HTH!

My favorite old-fashioned name is Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn Farley

Gwen Farley

I also really like Charlotte. I don't think the nn Charley is that big of a deal. I didn't think of it until you mentioned it.

Best of luck with your naming and hope you have a quick and healthy delivery.

Good luck!
