We like vintage girls names but are having trouble narrowing down our list. Options we’re considering (with nicknames)-

Adelia (Ada or Della)
Genevieve (Eve)
Violet
Francesca
Edith (Edie)
Mirabelle (Mira or Belle)
Estelle
Margot
Eleanor (Nell)
Fern
Rose
Elodie
Vera

Please let us know your opinions- we’re also open to suggestions! We would prefer something that’s not too common. Surname ends in an ‘e’ sound.

Thank you

They're all lovely.

Less sure about Edith and Elodie but I love Genevieve. Wish I'd thought of it!

Adelia (Ada or Della) - lovely, not sure of the non though. They have different vowel sounds from the original name
Genevieve (Eve) - gorgeous.

Violet - I love this name
Francesca - okay
Edith (Edie) - I know a lovely little Eddie. Doesn’t make me like the name, though.
Mirabelle (Mira or Belle) - love the non more than the full name
Estelle - old fashioned but not in the same way as Edith.
Margot - seems to be getting popular
Eleanor (Nell) - you have nicer names on your list.
Fern - okay
Rose - okay. Pretty enough but...
Elodie - not keen on this one
Vera - not keen

You have some lovely, interesting names on your list. I’d go with a name from nearer the top of your list. Unusual without being outlandish.

Good luck, OP.
