Elegant, classic girls names

Hello i am struggling with choosing a name for my baby girl.
I like elegant, classic names but nothing that is too popular / overused.
Her brother is Noah so i'd like to choose a name that flows nicely with this. Any inspo is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Agree that I wouldn't worry too much about her brother's name - giving Noelle a wide berth though! I'm not sure by what you mean by not overused, especially as Noah is the third most popular boys names, but all of these had 62 or fewer uses in 2019. If popularity is a concern, I'd check the official data. PPs have suggested names like Grace, Charlotte and Isabelle, all of which are top 30, which would be too popular for me. This website makes theONS data really easy to see.

Elizabeth for sure

My first thoughts for elegant, classic and timeless were Elizabeth and Eleanor.

Not to everyone’s taste but I’ve called my daughter Joy. I absolutely love it. We get so many compliments.

I like Charlotte, Grace, Rose, Lilian, Isabelle, Lauren, Sophia and Zara:) Noah is a lovely name and everything goes with it.
