DH and I have got three boys names picked out, all quite easy. But we're struggling a bit with girls names.

I like our list so far but none of them are absolutely 'it'. Would love to hear your thoughts on it and any other suggestions.

Like pretty much everyone else we're looking for that sweet spot between unusual(ish) and classic.

Alexandra
Allegra
Amelia
Cecilia
Cecily
Claudia
Cordelia
Edie
Eve
Florence
Georgia
Kitty
Margot
Matilda
Nancy
Persephone
Rosamund
Rosalind
Serena
Stella
Theodora

My daughter is a Claudia. She has another of your names as a middle name. We haven’t come across another Claudia yet. I also love Cecily, Cecelia, Florence and Felicity from your list. My husband wouldn’t let me have Cecelia which was one of my favourites.

Lovely list!

I like them all but love Claudia, Cordelia and Nancy with Matilda a close 4th.

OP - she has a lovely name! Do you like any of the other ones?
