I'm looking for classy* English girl names that aren't absolutely common like Elizabeth, but aren't stuffy and past their prime, like Muriel. Combination of scullery maid names and lady of the house names wanted, but more the latter!

Current List:

Georgiana
Henrietta
Cordelia
Harriet
Imogen
Beatrix
Clementine...except having doubts about this on an adult
Flora
Hermione-I know this and Penelope are Greek, but they also seem English, if that makes sense.
Penelope

*By "classy" I mean a name that isn't trying to hard, but isn't fished out of the gutter either.

Clementine Churchill was only ever really 'known' as a middle aged adult and then older and the name was fabulous for her Wink. What's putting you off it? It's not a name used much so not common.
I almost called my daughter Cordelia instead though.
