Here's my issue. When I was at school (in the 80s/90s) I always loved names like Ava and Emilia, I didn't know anyone with these names as everyone was Amy, hannah, Louise, Anna, Gemma, Claire etc. I loved that they seemed different without sounding try hard or made up.
By the time I came to have my first daughter I learned this was no longer the case and they were now as commonly used as my own name was when I was at school, I ended up going for Rosa Iris Julia (2 middle names as family names) instead.
I am now really stuck for my next little girl.
These are the names I keep going back to
Ivy
Emmeline
Matilda
Tabitha
Edie
Beatrice
Martha
Esme
I do love the sound of Ava, Emilia, Mia etc but just know too many of them now so really looking for something traditional but not so popular. I know some of the above list are very popular in other areas but I don't know any around here. Can anyone give me honest opinions on my list and feel free to suggest other names I may like!
