( 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

Orla. I'm not sure how common it actually is, but it's easy to spell and pronounce and I love it.

We had Sofia at first but it's become so popular in the last 2 months so it's put me right off. We've decided on Millie the now as I wanted a name people would know but you don't hear it everywhere you go Smile

I knew a Cara in school, never known another in 20 years since I left and I've always love it.

Claudia - elegant and feminine and used for less than a 100 girls a year in the UK. Everyone knows how to spell it, its also international and fairly timeless.

2nd choice would be Antonia - more popular but still less than 250 girls born with the name in the UK each year (plus there are so many nn options if she does have another in her class - Annie, Anya, Nia, Nina, Toni etc). Like Claudia I find it elegant, timeless and it's well used internationally.
