Stuck for a classic not too popular girls name

[littlegreengloworm]

Any ideas. I love Anna but niece Anna. Emma is very popular. I love Ellen but is it too similar to Ella. Mary is an option and a favourite of dh but I am not so sure.

Any inspiration ? :)

Louisa
Hattie
Emily
Frances
Kate

Josephine

Can I just add OP:

Alice
Alice
Alice
Alice
Alice

......not that I'm biased, but actually what about Honor?

How about Roseanna?

Jennifer
Eliza
Clara
Annalise

Saw your title and thought 'Anna'!

Some of the names mentioned are pretty popular in our bit of the country - so obviously depends on where you are.

If you like Ellen, how about Eleanor, Helen or Helena?

Both dds' names are on this thread a few times - also on our lists were:

Imogen
Katherine
Harriet
Juliet
Alice (love)
Lucy (2 friends used it first)
Elizabeth
Ruth
Sarah
Isobel (but popularity has rocketed here)
Laura (love love this)
Louisa
Naomi (I struggle with spelling it!)
Miranda (before the tv show)
Martha (disliked by most people we mentioned it to)
Rose
Mary
Jemima

I'd avoid Anna and Elsa. Thanks to Disney they will be top one and two next year.

Think of all the girls in school for classic inspiration.

How about:

Rose
Iris
Marianne
Emmeline
Vivienne

and Annabelle

and Penelope
Felicity
Prudence

Mary is lovely and not popular at all... I don't know any little Mary's...?!

Reminds me of three men and a little lady!

Lots of suggestions. Thanks so much. Anna is getting very very popular where I live. No wonder, it is beautiful. Also thought of Martha and dh likes it.

DS has a classic name not used very much and I'm so happy with it.

I love Ellen but maybe too many Ella's around as Emily is also very popular. Evelyn is something I am thinking about too.

Christine
Rachael
Louise
Helen
Caroline
Fiona
Ruth

I have a 15mo Ellen and was concerned about all the Ella/Ellie etc around and we haven't met a single one as that really peaked a few years ago. It doesn't bother me now.

The rest of our shortlist was:
Bethan
Josephine

We also thought about:
Alice
Charlotte
Cecilia (her middle name, too frilly for me as a first name but DH loves it)

Good luck

Evelyn is beautiful also

Eliza
Enid
Harriet
Annabel
Clara

My dd is called Nancy and I love it

If there are future dd's which I doubt I love Ida and Sally

My daughter is Naomi, which is a hebrew name.
She's never been to school or clubs with other Naomis - and in the annual most popular name in the UK lists the highest I've seen it is 90th !
I liked it because it's a name everybody has heard of, it suits all ages - but it's not overly common.

Edith
Harriet
Juliette

How about
Valerie
Beatrice
Ida
Constance
Winifred

Eleanor (Nell)
Gretchen
Henrietta
Catherine
Annabelle
Emmaline
Millicent
Caroline

Hannah
Josephine
Juliet
Felicity
Hope
Thomasin

Cora
Rosalie
Lucille
Cordelia
Cecilia

Rosamund
Rosa
Celia
Beatrix

Christina
Alma
Maria
Leah
Molly
Nina
Priscilla
Lucilla
Violet
Adele
Agnes
Agatha
Daphne
Diana
Esther
Eve
Frances
Iris

Lucy
Zara
Phillipa
Danielle
