Cool, classic girls names?

Having DTDs. I feel like a beach ball.

They'll have a DBro called Leo and a DSis called Thea.

Any ideas?

Names with a Norwegian or Finnish/both heritage would be great (I'm Norwegian- but have Kven heritage, so my family have a lot of Finnish names/speak Finnish). Ingrid, Hanna, Nea, Lilj, Alisa, Linnea, Else- for family reasons, those can't be used.

Just to say I have Thea and if she was a boy she'd have been a Leo so we clearly like the same names! I quite like Tabitha, Sasha, Mae, Lottie, Lois.

Milla, Karina, Lottie.

I have twins too, and a good piece of advice I was given is give baby B the name that is higher up alphabetically so they aren't always last.

Matilda has a Nordic background doesn't it?

Anyway it classic & cool but I'm biased as my little Matilda's arriving soon!

I wanted to call my DTDs Nancy and Flora (has a Malory Towers ring to it!) but was vetoed...

Actually Mallory's nice too.

Sally and Polly were no's (DS said they sounded like bar wenches!)

And Liberty. And Eloise. And Lucinda, Phillipa, Francesca, Felicity.

(I had a v long list [win])

I think Lara and Claudia .. Not finnish but think they sound good with your other children's names and they are both classic and beautiful.
