Classic feminine names

Looking for classic but not overused names. We already have an Elizabeth, which I loved because it is traditional but not that popular these days. Happy to go a little less traditional this time.

I like Rosie, Evie and Millie. Evie is my favourite but worried it’s a bit popular. Any other ideas along those lines?

Thanks!

I'd avoid Evie as it's so popular and not a match for Elizabeth. Maybe Amelia with an Millie? Matilda with no Millie or Tillie?

I'm a Charlotte with a sister called Elizabeth - great, classic names with good nickname potential (love Lottie, wish I'd thought of using it when I was younger!). I also love Philippa and Josephine and think they go well with Elizabeth, with a good range of nicknames.

My DD is called Millie but we only call her Millicent, its more carrying on a family name. Both mine and my OH's grandmothers names were Millicent, it was just right. Her full name is Millicent Grace.

We like
Edith,
Elsie (although reminds me a bit of Elsa),
April,
Rose,
Isabella
Georgina
Florence
May

Millie, Rosie, Evie are like names for Elizabeth's battered rag doll. Some lovely suggestions above.
