Stuck for a classic not too popular girls name

Any ideas. I love Anna but niece Anna. Emma is very popular. I love Ellen but is it too similar to Ella. Mary is an option and a favourite of dh but I am not so sure.

Any inspiration ? :)

Go with Emma...it's a lovely name (DDs) and although popular, I have not come across another one at my DDs primary school, brownie pack or sports clubs.

I don't like Anne - Anna's much plainer cousin.

. These strike me as classic but not ten a penny.

Or Margaret? Sone nice diminutives there.
