Girls

Esther - Really like it. Traditional, but doesn't put me in mind of old ladies.
Marianne - Not a fan. Can't put my finger on it.
Louisa - Nice name. Not among my favourites on your list though.
Martha - Nope. Old lady name. Not for babies.
Ava - It's ok. I know popularity doesn't bother, you, but it's a little too popular for me.
Eva - Classic verging on timeless. One of my favourites on the list.
Frances - Nope. Old lady, and I've never met one I've liked.
Juliet - Eeeeeehhh. Not great. I think it's
Lillian - Don't like it. Lily is much better.
Amy - Very nice name. Second favourite name on your list.
Alexandra - (would use Ally as nn) Nice name. Just not the best. Alex will still come up
Charlotte - Best name on the list. I'm entirely with you on hating Lottie as a NN, but I think Char might come up often. Charley/Charlie is A-OK.

Fav girl name is Amy. I just love how classic it is.

As you’ve said you’re not bothered about popularity, Oliver is one of my very fav boys name. I really love Isaac too and Connor
