Old fashioned but unusual girls names, help!

Odile would be really lovely. I wish I'd thought of these names for DD- although she does have a lovely Celtic name.

I also love Seren.

Corin is amazing, I wanted it for DS2 but wasn't allowed!

Ivy is not unusual I'm afraid. Just outside top 50 and v high climber (no pun intended ).

Sorry, not trying to single you out, Kippers. Lots of the names given don't match the OP's 'uncommon' criteria (e.g. Elsie., mentioned, was one of the highest climbers one year and is top 50), and I think that might be because people don't know their real popularity in stat terms and base on personal experience (that seems to be generally the case in the name section)

Ivy. Unusual, classic & very easy for DD to learn to write at school ;)

Alexandra/Alexandria/Alexandrina

Oh yes, and Elsie, Elspeth, Agnes are all due a revival again, surely?

It's funny, I remember being horrified to discover that a friend's middle name was Margaret when I was 20. Thought it the epitome of hideous old lady ugliness on the name front. These days, I think it's rather elegant. Fashions are odd.
