With Quinn, you'll get Harley Quinn especially when she's been naughty. I think of it as a unisex name. My dd has a unisex name but hates that fact.

I think our generation will think of Margot (Good Life) but younger people will think of Margot Robbie which isn't a negative association.

Eleanor/Annabelle/Charlotte - great.

Cressida- not my taste at all

My preference r would be Eleanor, Charlotte, Annabella, Margot, Quinn, Cressida

All lovely apart from Quinn which is a boys name! Love Charlotte and Annabel (spelt this way).

Charlotte, Annabelle & Eleanor - I chose one of those and have taught two others. Not that unusual! Be clear about what shortenings you'd consider acceptable as you'll be amazed how many there are.

Quinn - Guardians of the Galaxy
Margot - The Good Life

Cressida - head of the Met Police and someone to admire, but unfortunate surname.
