Yes, I'm looking for the Holy Grail of girls names.
I don't want anything popular, nor do I want a frilly, girly unusual name (Seraphina, Elodie, Primrose...) or a way out there OTT name (Honeysuckle, Temperance, Jacintha...)
It has to be classic and strong, but still a name that a little girl would be proud of.
Does it exist?
So far, I'm going along the lines of Miranda, Juliet, Helena...but I don't really love any of them. Any ideas mumsnetters?

You need to look at Royal names and biblical to get the true classics I think most of the above fit those rules.
