Re: Girl name poll
IMO, Jane and Anna are a little boring, Esme makes me think Twilight, and Millie is too old fashioned
I like Elizabeth the best
Where you thinking of using a nn?

Not Bessie! I like Beth the best...
Also, I voted for Esme. I love older names that aren't uncommon but aren't popular either. However I agree w/becky - does remind me of Twilight...
I've never read Twilight or seen the film...so I had no idea about the Esme connection.
Yeah I really like older names. So I'm open to suggestions. I love Violet and Harriet but because our last name starts with T, I think it makes it hard to say.

Our favorite boy name is Emmett (also a twilight character).
Also really like Dean. For the first boy we'll use Leslie as a mn. Started as a boy name, but is generally used for girls now. It's a family name on DH side and is his MN, (first generation to have it as MN...)
For girls my #1 choice is Josie. Also really like Sophie, Jane, Claire (but that's really popular), Rae (mn)...

Hmmm... I never had that association. Oh well, I still love it!
I voted Jane. It's no more plain than Grace or half of the other one-syllable classic names; I don't know why people say that. I think it's just that Jane is not overused.
I also like Anna and Millie.
I like Elizabeth best, and then Jane.
Re: Millicent/Millie... It's a nice name, but I do think it sounds very old-fashioned. That said, you're Kiwi and perhaps it's more common over there. I did a quick Google search and saw Millie at #54 on the NZ list for 2008 -- I can assure you that it's not nearly so common here in the USA (it's not even in the top 1000 after 1966, according to the Social Security Administration). This probably influences the responses of some of us.
Jane is a great name; it was my dh's grandmother's name & we've talked about choosing it for a daughter. My second choice from your list would be Anna.
