Names like Dora or Nina?

I like both of these, but they're both slightly 'off' if you know what I mean, maybe slightly boring?

What has a similar feel?

Dora was a character in follyfoot which I still adore the books of. Nina is very Russian. I love both and they are seldom used now. Both are a winner

I asked this exact question whilst pregnant with DD1 (Dora), and got flamed for the Dora the Explorer theme. People seem to have changed their tune? Hmm

I was thinking more of the Biblical Beulah, and the Georgette Heyer heroine.
