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?

Elizabeth and Geirgina
Elizabeth and Harriet
Elizabeth and Adeline

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.

Also love Emmeline nn Emmy, and Grace.

Was also going to suggest Genevieve nn Evie.

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.
