Girls name - not flower or ‘old lady’ - help!!!

[whiteviolet]

We don’t know what we’re having, but have had a boys option chosen since I was pregnant with DD1 (called Jessica) and just can’t seem to find a girl option that we both like!

I’m not keen on flower names e.g. Rosie, Poppy, Daisy

DH doesn’t like what he calls ‘old lady’ names which have become fashionable over recent years e.g. Florence, Edith, Ava, Norah

Neither of us are keen on overly fancy names e.g. Clementine, Arabella, Cordelia

Types of names we like, but don’t think are ‘the one’ include:

Charlotte
Sophie/Sophia
Georgina
Lucy
Emma
Victoria
Elizabeth

Please help!

Bertha
Helga
Prudence
Winnifred

Roberta (Bobbie for short)

Emma
Emily
Rachel
Jane
Milly
Mary
Olivia
Phoebe

Justine
Yasmin (I know you said no 'flower names' but it's Yasmin not Jasmine)
Marie-Louise
Myriam
Amelia
Carelle

I also think that Chloe meets your criteria: not too many babies with that name but so many 8-12 year olds I think it's fallen out of favour again.
