Hi, still struggling with a girl's name and would welcome any ideas. We want something very English and traditional, but not too overused or old-fashioned. Ideally a strong name that will stand out. Thanks so much for any suggestions xx

Well, go with a Jane Austin character name! P&P has lots of nice ones:

The Bennet sisters:
Jane
Elizabeth
Mary
Kitty/Catherine
Lydia
Other notable female characters: Charlotte (Lucas), Caroline (Bingley), Georgina (Darcy).
