What's your favourite unfussy girl name?

Dd3 is due any day, we won't name her till we meet her but I'm struggling to even get a shortlist.

By unfussy I mean something not too out there, not made up and not a nickname.

Thanks!

If DS had been a girl I quite liked Stella ( or Celia but doesn't fit your criteria)

Also like Jane. But then had I had another son, would have chosen John.

DF wanted me to be Helen , vetoed by DM

Gina?

Nina is probably too similar to Naomi but is my favourite simple name.

Sasha?
Polly?
Martha?

They have been the names of the sisters of the Naomi's that I have known. FWIW, I think Sasha & Naomi are the best combination.

I really like Sasha. Saskia too.

Naomi was nearly a Nina. Lovely name but yes, too similar to Naomi.

Sasha and Sacha are different names though to be fair. In Scotland (where I am) there were 5 (girl) Sashas and 1 (Boy) Sacha born last years so I'd be happy using it for a girl.
