Obviously there are loads, but the ones that spring to mind tend to be more of the 'classic' / traditional type, or they just seem a bit dull. Examples:

Elizabeth
Margaret
Judith
Helen
Louise
Jane
Etc.

I'm looking for something which sounds pretty and a bit more modern - maybe ones which could be described as a little trendy, but not too 'out there' e.g.

Iris
Seren
Fern
Erin
Scarlett
Rose
Imogen
Etc.

Any other ideas?

I'd love to be brave enough to use Shiraz, or Dorcas.

I was going to use Margot or Vivianne (ok has an e on the end but silent)

I like that they are traditional but a little bit exotic sounding.

I went and had loads of boys though so perhaps I’ll have a little Margot with four paws one day Confused

If you're really against this sounds then also bear in mind nicknames e.g. Ellie, Abbie, Katie that could arise from some of these suggestions
