I don't feel like any girls' names are "It"

Luckily I have until the end of May. :o But I like to have my ducks in a row.

Names I like, but don't seem right:
Caroline
Frances
Louisa
Josephine
Georgia/Georgiana

I like Anna but feel like it's too...plain, maybe? And anyway I'd like to avoid the initials A, M, and S. I liked Philippa/Pippa for a long time but I think everyone would say "Oh like Middleton..." now. :(

Names that are out due to family members/close friends:

Emma
Emily
Kate
Jane
Claire
Vanessa
Ella/any "El" name really
Rebecca
Anne
Hannah
Gabriella
Amelia
Grace
Charlotte
Constance
Samantha (also, I have a Samuel)

I want something recognizable as a name but not something you hear every day! Help, Mumsnetters, help! :)

Oh and being nosy, what boys names are on your list?

Hi, I am due at the end of May as well and am already thinking of names.

For girls - one I am really liking at the moment is Eleanor.

Also on our list:

Elizabeth
Victoria
Camilla
Alexandra
Juliet

Probably a little more out there is Theodora or Isadora.

I like the old traditional names though. I know someone who just had an Evelyn which I thought was really nice.

off the top of my head

Imogen
Violet
Naomi
Tamsin
Florence
Juliet
Miranda

Thank you Tante! :)

I am VERY excited! It's very early days yet, but we've got a few boys' names we like and we'll see if he looks like any of them when he comes, if it's a boy. But no girls' names sound right at all!

Enjoy your lunch!
