Hi,
Looking for a lovely long elegant girls name, prefer classic but lesser used. Would appreciate your opinions on these too or suggestions for others of the same ilk.

Thank you!

Georgiana is lovely and I only know one. It’s shortened to Georgie sometimes but never confused with Georgina as although similar visually, quite different sounding.

Georgiana (however you pronounce it) is more classic than Mariella, which seems a bit of a mish-mash of a name in English and somewhat frilly, though I do know one who is Italian, so perhaps it's more common on the Continent. I still rather like it, though, but I'd say Marianne was more classic if that's what you're after.

I prefer Mariella but my absolute favourite name is Camellia
