As on other thread, we love Darcy/Darcey. Other favourites are:

Amelie
Lyra
Sky/Skylar

Would also love anything vaguely hippyish, what else is in the same vein do you think?

I love the natureish names - birds and plants etc, or anything that sounds like it could be a fairy.
My favourite is briar (add rose for a girl)

Biba is pronounced Beeba - it was an amazing clothes shop in the 60s and 70s.

Star is lovely.Or Starr.Or Stella.

I love Rowan - works equally well for a boy or a girl (I know one of each).

Violet is very pretty, Biba a bit meh - what do you shorten it to? Beeb? :)

Agree Willow is very nice, Talitha (like famous hippy Talitha Getty), Tanith, Storme, Sunny (too weird?!), Emerald...

Darcy and Amilie are favourites of mine.
I also love
Heidi, Willow, & Phoebe.
Also quite like India and Autumn although not sure I'm quite brave enough to use them

How do you pronounce Biba?

Bee-bah or Bib-ah?

Love Indie but have a friend with an Indie short for Indigo. Also know an Ember. Beautiful!

Classic but I LOVE Summer, Sky(e), Rain, Storm etc.

Some lovely ones here thanks! Amelie's popularity is what has put me off a bit to be honest. I like slightly hippyish or unusualish names though so trying to find one that's either a bit unusual or hippyish but not too 'out there'.
