Help with a girls name

We are expecting a baby in April and I think we've pretty much decided on Sebastian as a boys name.

For girls my/our taste is eclectic and varied to say the least!

We both love Harriet but unfortunately is a no go because of our surname (think jk Rowling ...)

So Anna, Hannah, Poppy and Lauren are all favourites but we think 'too popular.'

Then slightly more unusual - we love Willow (but a good friend named her daughter this) Seren (ditto) and Rowenna which we like but think it might end up being Rowena, which we aren't so keen on.

Can anyone help us decide? :)

Rohanna?

I really don't like morwenna et al - not sure why. Is Rohanna even a name!? It sounds like a place haha

How about Eleanor or Elena. Charlotte, Rachel, Zara, Heidi, Annalise or Xanthe.

The names above I like but are very popular and the ones I don't like are less popular.

I know, I am an awkward sod!

I do like serena. Not sure about some of these others though ... Any thoughts on the ones in the OP? They are the ones DH and I both like.

If you are not sure about using a Disney heroine's name and prefer to avoid HP I'd opt for Lauren or perhaps Laurel.

If you still hanker after Anna or Erin or Phoebe etc and really can't find something to equal them don't let the fact they're popular put you off.

My favourites from your list are Harriet and Anna. I love both, Anna best. Have you considered Francesca.

Out of the names you've listed Lauren, Willow and Seren are my top 3.
