Really struggling with a shortlist for our second girl that’s not incredibly overused!

We have a Matilda already, currently known as Tilly. That’s about as common as we’d like to go (and I know it’s still top 30) but also struggling with things that aren’t too matchy matchy - so trying to avoid more sing song a names. We like -

Charlotte
Florence
Clementine (but dislike Clemmie so not a real option)
Violet
Naomi
Keira

The top 2 are too common though really. Anyone had any similar ideas?

I like Naomi a lot

I like Violet and Charlotte, but I think Violet is more popular than Florence right now, and Charlotte is done to death. Tilly and Florence is a bit of a twee combo.

Keira is a misspelling - it’s Kiera or originally Ciara. It’s quite nice but not a natural combo with Matilda, if that bothers you.

Maybe…
