Girl names that aren't very girly.

I am pregnant with a girl. I don't like girl names generally.

Can you give me an idea of any that are normalish but not too girly?

I've been struggling to think of many - I quite like Megan, Fran, Ruth etc.

Thanks for any help.

Thomasina is one of my favourite names that isn't too girly in my opinion.

I love Ruth and Fran short for Frances (not Francesca). How about Simone, Audrey, Anouk, Anne?

Something like Alexandra (Alex) or Francesca (Frankie)?
