What's your favourite unfussy girl name?

Dd3 is due any day, we won't name her till we meet her but I'm struggling to even get a shortlist.

By unfussy I mean something not too out there, not made up and not a nickname.

Thanks!

Nina is probably too similar to Naomi but is my favourite simple name.

Sasha?
Polly?
Martha?

They have been the names of the sisters of the Naomi's that I have known. FWIW, I think Sasha & Naomi are the best combination.

If DS had been a girl I quite liked Stella ( or Celia but doesn't fit your criteria)

Also like Jane. But then had I had another son, would have chosen John.

DF wanted me to be Helen , vetoed by DM

I like Cara. I seem to remember that was one dp wasn't so keen on though. Or maybe that was Lara. I'll have to check.

Emma & Anna are my favourite unfussy names.

I like your shortlist OP, Tamsin is one of my favourite names.

Cara - I have one and although it's quite a simple and not unusual name there has never been another in her class.

Other favourites are Erin, Alannah and Francesca.

Leah or Anna (or Hannah) for me. I think they both have gentle vowel sounds, much like Naomi.
