Classic, but slightly less popular girls names?

Hi all,

We're looking for a girls name that is both classic, but not really popular. Easy to spell too! We love the name Amelia, but it's so popular right now we'd like to avoid it.

Some of our choices right now (to give you an example of what we're thinking!) include:

Harriett (Harry)
Winifred (Winnie or Freddie)
Lucy
Everly (Evie)

Any suggestions? Any and all appreciated! Smile

Thanks in advance

If you love amelia, what about Cecilia?

Hannah, Georgina, Elizabeth (loads of good shortenings, not used much these days!), Henrietta... I've been trying to think along much the same lines myself so interested to see what others come up with.

I'm loving all of these! It's definitely helping to have some input. We wouldn't have thought of these otherwise!
