I’ve got 2 weeks left to name baby girl. Ive trawled through thousands of names and can’t find the one.

Some I’ve liked but ruled out are;

Harriet- too similar to sibling name
Isla- too popular
Iris- DH doesn’t like
Phoebe- like but can’t make myself love it
Erin- like but know another Erin that isn’t a nice person and it just makes me think of them!

I want something classic and that is a normal known name, but not too popular.

Please help! I’m getting desperate.
