Names like Leonora, Florence

OH hates Leonora, I love it. Also love Florence, which he prefers, but not keen on how popular it is. I know this doesn't matter to lots of people, but it does to me. I like slightly old fashioned or traditional names and nothing too, too feminine. Really not keen on Evie, Sophia, Lily type names. Any ideas welcome, but please don't slate the two above too much, don't want to get too put off them! Thanks

I hope I don't sound horrible, but unless you have an incredibly posh accent I wouldn't go for Florence, A neighbour has a DD with this name and to be honest it sounds awful in her broad Yorkshire accent.

To add a few more, also like Frances, Elizabeth (but as it is, not shortened), Hester, Meriel. Our daughter has a really unusual name, but probably won't go so unusual this time.
