These are 3 of our current favourites:

Esther (but not for its biblical connotations...will people immediately associate it with the bible? I like Ettie/Essie as nicknames)

Connie - Would probably give full name Constance but shorten it - also possibility of Nancy from Constance)

Eleanor - Like that it could be shortened to Nell or Ellie.

What connotations do you have with these names? (However, if really terrible, I probably don't want to know!!)

I love Esther too, don't really feel anything either way about the other two.

I like Connie - we've discussed using it for dd3 but our surname begins with a K and is very long so have decided its too much. Shame, I really like it!
