I'm on the lookout for some classy girls names that aren't too popular.

So far i've compiled;

Cecilia
Cordelia
Mabel
Elizabeth
Harriet
Henrietta
Georgia
Juliet
Maria

I was just wondering what people thought of them and if you have any ideas, please share. Thanks!

My daughter has Cordelia as one of her names. She hates it.
Her name is Lakshme Miriam Cordelia: Lakshme after the Indian Goddess of Good Fortune (I am Indian) and the other two names her English father chose.

She is called Lucky by her friends. Grin
