Classic feminine names

Looking for classic but not overused names. We already have an Elizabeth, which I loved because it is traditional but not that popular these days. Happy to go a little less traditional this time.

I like Rosie, Evie and Millie. Evie is my favourite but worried it’s a bit popular. Any other ideas along those lines?

Thanks!

Elizabeth is so much more substantial and classic than Millie or Evie. Those names are a bit fashionable and may date. I’d go for something more like Elizabeth:
Jessica
Amelia (nn Millie!)
Georgia
Catherine (nn Kitty)
Alexandra
Annabelle
Felicity
Susannah

I agree about that Eve/Evie/Ava/Eva is everywhere. If you want something which is not overused, then I would steer clear of these. What about Beatrice, Julia, Eleanor, Annabelle?

I tend to agree on the proper adult name point (hence Elizabeth) but not sure I like the adult name versions of Millie, Evie etc. Maybe Eve.

I do like Juliet too (was on shortlist for DD1), but it really doesn’t work with our surname.

Evies / Avas and Evas are EVERYWHERE. I don't know a lot of people with children and I know at least 8. I wanted a Georgiana ( Mr Darcy's little sister) but was vetoed.

Juliet.

Camilla or Millicent are lovely with Millie as a nickname. Please give her the option of a proper grown up name for her adult life.
