Pretty girls names

I want a beautiful girl's name. There are some I love but hate the obvious shortenings so have ruled them out. There are some friends/family have used so I wouldn't.

Examples are: Isabella, Juliette, Elena, Chloe, Rosa, Sophia, Olivia, Amelia.

I also like Leia but too Star Wars, Layla/Leila/Lola but they're a bit "of the moment" and maybe not substantial enough, Eva but there are so many Ava/Evies and maybe Lara, Rebecca and Rachel.

Can you suggest anything else along those lines? I've been through the baby name lists loads of times and can't imagine there's one I haven't considered but maybe seeing it on its own or with just a few others might help!

We have a Molly

I always thought that was a beautiful name. But everyone's beautiful name idea is different

Some people love Vivian and think that's beautiful. Personally I don't

Imo the most beautiful names are Aurelia and Claudia. as pp said, it is very subjective ; I certainly wouldn't consider Rebecca as beautiful, it's in fact the complete opposite to my ears.

My daughters are Eva and Sophia, so I think we prob have similar taste. What about Elise?

Ffion so beautiful

Like others have said its a matter of taste. I have a Chloe and also Abigail. Lots of people dislike the name Abigail but I think it's really pretty.

Amelia is very common where I live so that's probably my least favourite
