uncommon but not 'crazy' girls names

i was hoping people could suggest me some sensible girls names that you're not going to hear shouted by a dozen different parents in a small playground. my top list right now is:

Melina (Greek name), Rosalie, Rosemary, Martina, Norma and Adelaide

I also love Wanda and Mistym but I think they sound a bit airy-fairy too. My boyfriend likes gender-neutral names and has his heart set on Robin which I like, but don't love.

Ivy & Rowan would be my suggestions.

AuntieStella · 15/02/2015 18:24

As your BF prefers unisex names, how about Evelyn, Rowan or Hilary? Or Hyacinth?

MollieCoddler · 15/02/2015 18:25

I can't believe someone has suggested topsy!

I love Erica

I think Robin's on the rise if you're worried about there potentially being a clash in the playground.

my favourite (can't use for personal reasons)Hmm is

Constance nn Connie

but second a PP regarding Veronica nn Ronnie. this was my #1 until my labour and was my midwifes name so didn't want to use it anymore!! (blame the hormones!!)
