A friend of mine has named her daughter Ida, which is a lovely name. It seems that she's not the only one: Why old-fashioned names are so popular | BabyCentre Mabel and Doris would suit the Cheeky Girls well.

echo beach Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 3 hours ago, Prettytom said: It is quite a startling result, I agree. It is often used as the first of a number of names, so I guess that it was always going to be very common, but not necessarily used in the same way that Christian names are used. Thats a lot of Noahs too. Maybe the wet weather played a part I’ve always thought of Noah as a bit of an arkaic name!😃 echo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
