what are some of your favourite non popular girl names / underused girl names? I love elegant but simple names such as Violet and Harper but they are too popular for me :(

I love Natalie. You hardly ever meet a little Natalie nowadays. I wanted it for DD but DH wouldn't agree Hmm.

I also love Ivy. I believe (mainly from MN) that it is getting more popular again, but I've never met one under the age of 75 personally.

I also love;

Iris
Delphi
Melissa
Saskia
Sorrel

Agree with a PP who said 70s/80s names. There are lots of pretty names that were popular around 30 years ago, much less so now. E.g. Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, Amanda, Melanie, Sally, Stephanie, Joanne etc etc

I have two Ivy's in my Brownie unit. Their names are all quite varied tbh, no clear trends.

I quite like Natasha for dc#2.
