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!

I can see that Sarah comes back a few times on this thread and it's one of my favourite girl name. I also like Martha, Isabelle, Sophie, Helena (Elena), and Bethan/Beth/Elizabeth. No to Charlotte I think it will be associated with little princess Charlotte.

If I'd had a girl she would be called Clara (Sarah was vetoed by DH as it's the name of his first girlfriend!) or Isabelle.

I like Emma and Georgina from your list, OP :)

[whiteviolet]

Thanks everyone!! We’ve narrowed it down to Alice, Sarah or Emma (wasn’t sure about Emma at first but the more I hear it the more I like it!)

[NotAgainYoda]

Good choices

Sarah is very under-used

Emma also beautiful

[MrsJayy]

Oh Emma is lovely and timeless imo it is due a revival. The Emmas i know are19/ 20

[ShowMeTheElf]

Good call OP: all three are lovely timeless names.

[Bouncingbelle]

All 3 names are classic and gorgeous and names i woukd like to have myself!

If i had to pick a favourite it would probably be Emma, cute but also perfect for a grown woman :)
