I'm due in July and not found out the sex. We have decided on a boys name but really struggling with a girls name.
I like traditional names, names that can be easily pronounced and spelt but not too popular (know that's a contradiction) Help!!!

Ellen, Anna, Hannah, Victoria and Laura really fit your bill and are great names, as does Clara, but I think it might be on the up popularity-wise atm. I like Susannah too, but there are quite a few spelling variants. Matilda is a first-class name but I think quite popular atm. Alice is very popular too - how about Alison? Sophie? Frances? What about Claire? Nobody calls their dds Claire any more and it's such a pretty name.

I know someone who called their dd Sally, which is very sweet.

We had the exact same criteria OP and ended up with a Ruth and a Hazel Smile.

I see someone suggested Mary - fits the bill perfectly and is really unusual these days.
