    Mamie is a family name, but I won't use it. I don't love Maude, but for some reason I've always loved the nn Maudie. No to Lula.. it reminds me of Little LuLu and is too cartoonish to me

    Rufus - hello Gossip Girl...no. Ernest and Glen are just nms.

    I love Maude and actually just suggested it as a name. Lucy Maud Montgomery is one of my favorite authors, so I've always had a soft spot for it.

    Rufus reminds me of GG and if I'm naming a kid after somebody in GG, it isn't going to be Rufus.

    Glen is an absolutely not. It was the name of my grandmother's husband. He was a vile man.

    The rest are nms.

  • I don't like any of these. Lula might be okay for a nickname. Mamie is too close to mammie which is basically a racist term so I would avoid that one.

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.
  • Don't like any of these.

  • Mamie and Aimee?  LOL!  I actually knew an awesome girl named Mamie in college but this just won't do for our family.  We could potentially be Jamie, Aimee and Mamie. 

    The rest are not my style either.

    I like Maude and Rufus (I'm not familiar with GG), but they wouldn't be at the top of my list.

    The rest are NMS.

  • I don't love Maude but I do like the name Maeve, which kinds of reminds me of it. Lula and Mamie are wicked cute but they wouldn't make the cut. The boy names are all NMS.

    These really are NMS.  I was super excited about old names--but these just didn't do it for me.  

    @poppies717  I like Margaret a lot, too.

    I like Margaret and Matilda, but those variations are NMS.  Same to Ernest and Glen - but call me crazy I kind of like Rufus?  But wouldn't use it.
