I'm a no on Gloria - still reads as old lady to me vs. Brooklyn hipster.

June is my favorite from your list.

I think of the song “Gloria” and can’t get it out of my head .. but yeah has a golden girls vibe to me.


Haha I love that song! My other grandma was Donna. Another catchy song, but not a great baby name.

I also like PP's suggestion of Daisy.

I would NOT give her a name that starts with "R" -- I don't like the idea of siblings with the same first initial for some reason. Here are some others I like:

Nora
Cleo
Poppy (another flower name, I know, but less obvious)
Alice
Dora
Holly
Kate
Vera
Maggie
Molly
Sadie


OP here. My husband mentioned a while ago that he likes Holly. I guess I associate it a lot with women my age (I’m 39). Do you think it is classic?


I think it hits a sweet spot of being familiar but not super popular. It's also quite a bit more common in other English-speaking countries (very popular in the UK I know). So yes, I think it falls in a "classic" category, though it is not my favorite on this list.

OP here. Lots of people like June. She won’t be born in June - will this be a thing people will always ask?

OP here, I like Vera but am concerned about Veer-uh vs Vare-uh. I want to be sure the pronunciation is obvious. Such a pretty name though.
