My parents almost named me Dorothy and would have called me Dottie. Now that sounds pretty old fashioned.
Social Security has a great source for looking up popular names of any year. Unfortunately it shows that all my favorite girl names have become very popular. I like Emma (for my great aunt who died of TB in her 30s), Grace (Grace Kelly and Gracie Allen) and Olivia (after my great-grandmother Olive) but they are all in the top 20 right now.
I have long loved variations on Lillian (my grandmother's name) and was thinking of Lily Ann because my mother and I both have Ann as our middle name. Unfortunately that would make a daughter Lily Gildner
Opinions? Do you automatically think "gilded lily" when you see that? Or is that phrase so old, no one will think of it.
