Which girls names do you love that are outside the top 100?

[DessieLou]

A couple of the names on our shortlist turned out to be in the top 10 and although we like them we have not found one we love yet. We seem to be going round in circles and most names are boring me now so we need some different suggestions. Help!

Zara?

Mabel

Hazel

Is Madeline outside the top 100? I didn't think it was.

Tabitha, Ursula, Anita, Meredith, Rosalind.

carmen, Bethany

I have no idea what is in the top 100 but I really like these names;

Nia
Ria
Anna
Annie
Verity
Helena
Esme
Nina
Eve
Merry
Mary
Jane
Julia
Cally

Sarah
Sara
Thea
Alethea
Althea

More great suggestions, but quite a few that we can't use as they've been taken by friends/family.
1500 I totally agree with your rant - well said!
Mothership I'm still deciding if I like Maddie but I suppose it gives her another option when she's older. And if she turns out to be a Reuben there's going to be an awful lot going back to the shops!
Popsypie I rather like Zara, will suggest it to OH.
Cece Not so keen on your suggestion of Helena but it did make me think of Elena which I really like (pronounced as it's spelt rather than El-ay-na as my book suggests). So thank you!
I think I'm going off Nyla - not sure I can imagine an adult Nyla.... So currently my top two are Madeleine and Elena but will suggest some of your thoughts to himself. Asked him last night what his thoughts were and I got a vague 'Dunno, I'm still thinking'....God help me! Thankfully we have 12 weeks left!
Thanks again to you all, it's really great to get some fresh ideas.

just putting it out there, i work with an asian lady called nyla and its a really popular name in that culture- like lucy or something here!

I love Ceryn would of called a girl that but we had two boys

Delphine
Ophelia
Merryn
Seren
Constance
Lyra
Rosa
Roma
Elara
Clara
Sasha

Elara is nice but OH already vetoed.

My oldest DD is Matya but is called Matty . My other 2 are Alicia & Natasha I also like Natika & Olivia.

Celandine
Camille
Marcelle

Hi Dessie regarding nicknames - I'm a Madeleine and I was never shortened to Maddie as my mother made sure it wasn't. My mum is quite forthright I.e complained to my primary school if they called me Maddie etc but it worked

Leala
Maureen
Keisha

Just some names of people I know that aren't in the top 100

Iris
Agnes

Juliet, Sylvia

Love and adore Cora
