I'm due in Aug and don't know the gender. We have a boys' name that we're happy with but are really struggling with a girls' name. The ones we like are generally arguably/technically boys' names that could be used for girls...current top three as follows:

Corin
Auden
Delphine (obvs I know this one isn't a boys' name!)

Can anyone suggest anything that we might not have thought of?!

We'd like something fairly unusual it not bonkers - not Top 100 though. Middle name likely to be Grace. Other names we like but not quite enough to use are:

Meredith
Cecilia/Cecily
Hester
Alexandra

We're not keen on anything too girly (such as Milly, Daisy, Lily or similar) or too retro (Elsie, Maud, Mabel etc).

Any suggestions very gratefully received!

Always had the opposite problem - lots of girls ideas but no boys. Just as well we never needed a boys name!

Have tried to think of unisex/non-girly uncommon girls names:

Robyn
Cara/Cora
Hazel
Thea
Ramona
Ashley
Morgan
Darcey
Rowan
Regan
Fallon
Albany
Stella
Elsa
Astrid
Erica
Ingrid
Jocelyn

Good luck with your choice.

Alexandria

Harriet/Hattie

Alba

Corin is nice but I'd spell it Corinne for a girl. I like Cecilia and Alexandra too.
