Names like Ella-May

If anyone's not sick of me asking yet, please can I have more ideas! I still can't find a girls name I love and am due in December. I really like Lucia still but I don't love it. I don't like classic names at all, so nothing like Elizabeth. I do like:

Cutesy pretty names
Ones that are not very common (outside of top 100)

Someone told me they have a little call called Ella-May today and I thought that fitted my criteria, but it's still not quite right. Please can you suggest some similar ish names you think I might like?

Thank you :)

Ok no more hyphenated names.

Kitty reminds me of the annoying one off X factor last year, sorry.

I like Phoebe and Scarlet but friends have taken those :(

Double barrelled names always reek trailer trash to me - sorry watched Dukes of Hazard too much as a child I think.

How about
Phoebe
Scarlet

Myla reminds me of Myra (hindley).

I like Blossom but then it's a bit close to Bosom.

Don't go! I know I know, I should be less fussy!

Hmm I am starting to go off the hyphenated names now....

Blossom
Faye
Annabel

I think hyphenated names will date so would avoid if I were you.

Thanks, some good suggestions! I have a Poppy already so you're on the right lines of the things I like (though this time I'm after something more unusual than Poppy). It doesn't have to be a hyphenated name though, so any ideas of pretty names are welcome. (I do like the others but because of some of the first names being friend's babies names I have to rule them out :()
