( looking for inspiration as i just can't seem to find a girl's name i like)

I dont personally love any i have come across so far or popular ones such as Olivia or Isabelle so looking for some underused but still recognisable names that we might like? I don't think i explained this very well but oh well! What's your favourite girl namd that you think should be used moreSmile

I met a young Gloria recently, her nn was Glow. It's a name I know, but I'd never met anyone with it.

I really like Jennifer.

Sophie?

That must be one of the most commonly used names of the past decade!

Thanks bubblesoup I've always loved the name Jennifer. My XP actually wanted to call her Jenna but I thought it would get mispronounced as Gemma

We also loved Genevieve but couldn't agree whether to pronounce it Jen-a-Veev or Jon-vee-ev, I prefer the first but her older brother liked the second one better so it's now his special name for her, he never calls her Jennifer

Spphie/Sophia/Sofia - when all the spelling variations are added together it is the most common name in the world. Literally!

My daughter is called Mackenzie :) My family scoffed at first but it really suits her and she gets a lot of compliments!

I commented a few days ago to DH that you don't hear the name Anita much these days.
