Names like Leonora, Florence

[Swishyswashy]

OH hates Leonora, I love it. Also love Florence, which he prefers, but not keen on how popular it is. I know this doesn't matter to lots of people, but it does to me. I like slightly old fashioned or traditional names and nothing too, too feminine. Really not keen on Evie, Sophia, Lily type names. Any ideas welcome, but please don't slate the two above too much, don't want to get too put off them! Thanks

To add a few more, also like Frances, Elizabeth (but as it is, not shortened), Hester, Meriel. Our daughter has a really unusual name, but probably won't go so unusual this time.

I hope I don't sound horrible, but unless you have an incredibly posh accent I wouldn't go for Florence, A neighbour has a DD with this name and to be honest it sounds awful in her broad Yorkshire accent.

Adding to the post up there ^^ about your accent. We almost called DD Florence but being in the NW with extremely broad Lancashire accents we decided against it because I sounded like Gracie Fields when I said it. Plus the short of Flo or Flora sounded even worse!
It's such a pretty name though.
Hester is lovely.
