Classic but not overused girl names

DP and I like Olivia and Grace but I just can't settle on either because I think they are so overused. I want her to have something more unique as that will be nicer for her when she's older. Dp is stuck on Olivia and Grace.

My suggestions, vetoed by dp 🙄

Verity (love this name)
Margot
Violet
Eleanor
Viola
Liberty

Any ideas?

Rosalind, Laura, Clara.

Evanna13 · 24/09/2019 20:42

Sarah, Clara, Anna, Lucy, Hannah, Ava, Eve, Julia.

I am not keen on Alice either.
If you love Olivia or Grace I would go with one of those.

My daughters name is Alice Valerie. Since having her the name Valerie has really grown on me and I often call her that

I like Grace but agree Olivia is very over used. I know at least 10 kids called Olivia. I liked Elana for a girl.
