Hi! Looking for some help deciding between these three names for our baby girl. We prefer classical, traditional, sophisticated names but also want a name which is not too common. All help much appreciated!

Charlotte feels a bit dull to me. So many Charlottes of all ages.

Antonia and Selina are both lovely. Fresh but known.

I wonder if Selina would be misspelt as Selena fairly often because of Selena Gomez.

Thanks @CamelSilk. Did consider Claudia but felt that the "claw" sound at the beginning sounded a bit harsh.

I love Antonia.

Such a beautiful name and much less commonly used than Charlotte.

These are fab OP. My favourite is Antonia, then Selina. Charlotte is nice but a lot more common.

Along the same lines, you may like Claudia?

Charlotte.

Love Antonia and Charlotte.
Not keen on Selina. As pp, Celine or Serena are both similar, and I prefer them.
That said, she's your baby. Which do you love the most?

DD has a friend Antonia - love the name and only one I've ever met

Selina (or Serena?)

Antonia is a beautiful name. I also love Antigone.

Charlotte is ok.

I don't like Selina.

Selina semolina 😁
I love Celine. Wanted it for my child.

Charlotte overdone.
