I fell in love with Jane years ago as a first name with my affection reading all of Jane Austen's novels and Jane Eyre. I named my daughter that this year. Though I'm American and many girls have Jane as a middle name, I've only known an older woman with that name. Every person I've mentioned it to says it's such a pretty name.

[@oddmnemosyne2869]

Oh there are loads of really unexpected nature and floral names that were popular during the Edwardian period! I was reading on this topic a few months back, I believe it was an article on the British baby names site, and was really charmed by the style of the period. Some of the registered names included Snowdrop Gladys, Clematis Mary Claire, Mignonette Ethel, Ivy Narcissus, Acacia Harriet, Claude Oak, Felix Ruby, Gladiolus Bernard, and Linden Fritz Barnabas. All born in the late 1800s through early 1900s.

Hi SJ, greetings from Slovakia. I'm fan of this channel for a while, but never posted a comment before. Not sure how I found it, but I'm been watching it over a year now. I've been searching for the given names and their meanings for years (even though I have no kinds) anytime I heard an interesting name, but I was surprised and delighted that someone has created such a great channel as you did and there's a new video every week ! ...I'm so happy I can finally see STELLA (officially spelled only with 1 L in my country) in the list, my all time favorite and so happy you spoke about it in a positive way. I remember it was mentioned in "girl names from century ago" (1921) video with no special comments, then it was mentioned in the video mentioning names that people hate and I was disappointed. Then I was disappointed again when it was not mentioned in the "Star, moon etc" list and now voila Stella is finally honored :-). I know it's often used as brand name, but I love it from the time when I read some 20 years ago that Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith decided to call their daughter Stella and I know a couple of other celebrities did as well. ... I hope to have a daughter one day and that Stella (which's becoming more popular in my country and I sometimes feel like "no, it's my name") would fit to her surname. Very small number of people in Slovakia has a middle name, but if I was a English speaker, I would go for Joy or June as a middle name. I like other names from this list as well, Annie is so cute and I always considered Naomi to be a very interesting name. ...If you ever do a video on Slavic names, more than happy to advise.

[@SJ_Strum]

Ah yes Stella is a lovely name!! I’d love to do a Slovakian name list xxxx

Dog adoption announcement ;D How cool that Daphne is on this list, as I've just adopted a rescue labrador retriever and named her Daphne Wildflower Tadgh Bisous, almost all coming from Baby Name Mondays! Thanks for the inspiration, ​SJ! I'm not having any children so I have to use my names somehow lol. Daphne was ultimately chosen not because of Bridgerton, but from the Greek myth, author Daphne DuMaurier, and Daphne Moon from the tv program Frasier hahaha. I love nature names, and Wildflower was just perfect! Tadgh is an ancient Irish name meaning storyteller, and it's the Irish form of Timothy (my late brother's name). And Bisous is French for kisses! xxxx

Great list!! I've had Daphne on my name list for about 10 years, i've always loved it from the movie "What A Girl Wants" with Amanda Bynes. Perfect bilingual (French/English) name. Our baby girl is Elinor, also quite vintage. I really love the name Erin too. ♡

It means house of poverty; Bethany was a poor town covered in fig trees which are strong smelling and handy for burials, like for Lazarus.

Thanks for saying my name, Erin, correctly. Most people mispronounce and misspell my name and always have despite how simple it is. I've only ever met a couple of people with my name but just in passing.

Oh I love the idea of hidden nature names. My son's middle name is Knox.

I needed this so much thank you Sj.

Thanks for watching Ray x

Alison would be a great classic but rare name for a little girl. Only known about 3 women with that name but they spelled it differently.

[@lauren8627]

My aunt is Allyson. I always loved the spelling! So random of my grandma.

[@Annagracie24]

Yay look forward to this list!

[@Adenisey]

I love this list! Probably my fave 💕 x

[@marty9011]

Great list. My favourite is Erin, have always liked it.

[@hannahboutilier98]

When discussing Annie on this list you mention how Hannah could also be listed. I dont know what its like in the UK but here on the West Coast of Canada Hannah is a super common name. My mum gave it to me in the late 80s thinking it was vintage and familiar but uncommon. By 1995 it was in the top 20 for girls in the province of British Columbia and has remained in the top 20 all the way from '95 to last year. We will see if it stays for 2021 too. I like my name regardless but I do remember being 12 years old and having so many 5 year olds running around with the same name.

Named after my grandmother Margaret. My nickname as a child in the '60's was Margie and I chose Margo as an adult.

I’m Bethany Ann and I’ve always loved my name. It’s different enough that I was always the only Bethany in my class but everyone knows of the name. One of my gymnastics coaches used to call me Beth Annie which I also love. Though, working for customer service on the phones now I get called Stephanie, Brittany, and Ebony all the time.

I would love a hidden nature list!

Please do a video of modern cute Korean names . My husband is Korean and I’m struggling hard core 😭😭

[@jannahnicholson9844]

I have a Verity ❤️ Big sister is Everly and I love their names together!

[@annekadawkins3492]

Beautiful names ❤️

[@wintertrine]

We seriously considered Lovis (different spelling meaning love). Still in the run... 😂 for a potential next one 🤩

[@avanguillaume7748]

Margaret is one of my favorite. It will definitely be one of the middle names if I have a girl.

[@AphroditeD]

Daphne needs to be used more, so pretty!

[@emily_gross1990]

I love Edith. It's from Downton Abbey and I love that. You could shorten it to Eddie, like the boy name. That's different and cute. Victorian and 20s names are so beautiful.
