Am having a girl!

Have just had my 20 weeks scan which confirmed (much to my surprise) that we are having a girl.
We already have:

DD Maia (pn My-a)
DS Lucas

The girls names currently on my shortlist are:

Eliza
Cecily
Livia (this isn't just a contraction of Olivia but a name in its own right!)
Claudia
Matilda

What do you think of these?

We are looking for something that is not too popular. Although I tend to like traditional names DH prefers v unusual. He is also non British and of Asian descent so any Asian/ slightly multicultural suggestions welcomed or any more British ones too!

Many thx

Livia is one of my all time favourite names and if I had a DD2 she would definitely be called this .

congratulations!!

the only one i'm really not keen on from your list is Matilida.

Girls are the best. But I'm biased.

I like Matilda and Eliza the best on your list but they're all lovely.

Claudia is nice.

I think that Matilda/Tilly is quite popular.
