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!

For some reason I'm not so keen on Leah. I think it's the way it all blends into one sound.

I'd go Leah over Lyra (but live with a Dtar Wars geek so wouldn't be possible!)

Thanks all. Lots of lovely names!

Our shortlist so far is Tamsin, Anna, Anya and Lyra. Today I'm leaning towards Lyra but will probably have changed my mind by tomorrow.

I'm a Clare.I hate it, but. I think it would sound very vintage and unique on a baby

Ones we thought about: Anna, Mary, Martha, Faith, Evelyn, Rachel.

Anything in the top 20 in 1945-1970? That was a peak unfussy names period.

Tertia.

(That was a joke, by the way. But I just met one, and she was like a cooler Tilda Swinton.)

Nan, Cora, Eve, Faith, Grace, Mara, Molly, Nora, Martha, Eleanor, Susanna, Maud, Ursula, Mary, Polly, Enid, Ellen, Meg?
