We are struggling to find a girls name that we really love. We have a list of likes but are still looking for the one. We don't want anything too popular or trendy, and I think some of these are...

Our likes are:
Ella
Grace
Elodie
Evelyn
Rose
Sadie

What do you think of these, and what are other suggestions?

Thanks!

If my boys had been girls they would have been Mairi Anna - unless we changed our mind at the last minute as we did with No1 son. No2 son didn't have a name for a week and a half.

Thanks ladies. Grace was on my list since I had my DS 6 years ago, and it wasn't that popular then... bit gutted! I also loved Isabella at that time but that has clearly become the most popular name ever.

Amck... thanks for the suggestions. Of those I think Stella is the only one I really like... it is so hard! DH is even fussier than me. Interesting that you think Evelyn might be the next Isobel - it's a family name which is the only reason I have thought of it, don't know any recent Evelyns. I suppose Evie and Eva are very popular though so it makes sense.

Zooanimals - thanks for you suggestions too. Coralie is nice but I doubt DH would like it - I will ask him. I like the sound of Nisha but is that a real name? Sounds more like a nn for something? Melissa is of my generation I think, so it sounds dated to me (same as Jennifer).

Keep them coming, this is very helpful!

Our DD is Anna, so clearly I love that too! ;-)

I like Evelyn too, but I suspect it may be the next Isobel

I think Evelyn is lovely.

If you don't want anything too popular you need to avoid Ella and Grace definitely. Elodie isn't that popular, but given that every other girl is called Emily or Amelie, it's not going to sound particularly original. Rose is top 100 now I think and there are also a lot of Rosies around.

Evelyn and Sadie are not too popular. I don't like Evelyn. Sadie is quite nice.

How about;

Melissa
Coralie
Cora
Nisha
Cecily
Eden

All nice names some of them are quite popular I think. Ella and Grace in particular. How about:

Stella
Jennifer
Louisa
Jenna
Amaris
Blythe
Anna
Vivienne
