I can only think of Clara Cluck, Minnie Mouse's friend or an elderly spinster.

I don't like Florence or Hannah.

Georgia is a lovely name.

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 28/07/2023 07:11

Really don’t like Clara and I agree that Hannah seems more for someone in their twenties or thirties but is a nice name.

Georgia is nice, definitely not masculine

Florence is my favourite on your list, very nice.

What about Floss or Flossie for Florence?

GoodVibesHere · 28/07/2023 06:51

I really dislike Clara, it's so clunky and ugly, sorry!

The others in order of my preference:

Hannah
Georgia
Florence

How about Georgina or Georgiana?

Shouldisign · 28/07/2023 06:40

I’m not a fan of the name Florence, but I know one who goes by Flossie if you prefer that as a nickname.
Georgia could end up with the nickname George….
Clara is ok.
I would go for Hannah from your list, nickname Hannsie.

I love Clara.

TeenMum87 · 28/07/2023 05:19

Clara’s lovely and haven’t heard of many, my DD’s 15 and definitely not common in that age group.

Hannah is okay, not common but always present.

Sugarplumfury · 28/07/2023 04:22

Clara is my favourite, followed by Florence (Florrie for short).
Other ideas are
Cora
Francesca (nn Frankie, Cesca)
Anya
Leah
Thalia
Alissa
Thea

Sorry I find Hannah really dull and possibly bit dated. Same with Georgia.

I love Clara. It’s beautiful and classic. I also love Florence. She may get Flo but you can try florrie.

Forgot to say Savannah instead of Georgia.

CuriousLadyBird · 28/07/2023 01:52

Everyone I know called Georgia is absolutely gorgeous so I've never seen it as masculine.

Hannah and Clara are pretty.

I've never liked Florence. I know a little girl nn Florrie (she's very cute). It's just not for me.

Others like them are
Laura
Anna
Hattie
Claire
Georgina
