Classic, "normal" girl's names...

So we are having a girl. Already have a ds with a classic name. Dh doesn't like anything that isn't "normal" but I don't want anything too popular (my name was top in the year I was born and I hated being one of five in my class)

So names I like:

Alice
Imogen
Phoebe
Evelyn (but worry that Eve/Evie is too popular)

Dh likes:
Charlotte
Hazel

Names ending in a or ee sounds don't go very well with our surname.

Any extra ideas? I don't feel like I've found "the one"

I think the following are classic and normal (to me, anyways Grin )

*Alice
*Emily
*Anna
*Elizabeth
*Catherine

The following are, imo, 'modern classics' that I don't think will date

*Megan
*Rebecca
*Amy / Aimee
*Louisa
