Strong but girly names and more boys names

Hello,

So I'm only 9 weeks!

Choices so far;

I don't want anything too popular or cutesy

Beth/Betsy
Della-my Nan's name which I love but worry about the connotations for the rest of my family-how does it sound to people who haven't known it all their lives?
Anna
Ada
Ava-aware this is super popular
Marella-This is both our Nan's names Mary and Della put together

Boys-

I only like

Nathaniel/Nate
George
Isaac
Isaias
Ezra-maybe

Any more suggestions?

Beth/Betsy - no. Betsy is cutesy imo.
Della- new name to me. I like it.
Anna - bit blah
Ada - like it
Ava- also blah
Marella- meaning is lovely but I'm not a fan of it. Mariella is nice. Tbqh though I'd say steer away from Ella based names like this as it's easy to shorten to Ella and they're a dime a dozen.

Boys-

Nathaniel/Nate - love this
George - ok
Isaac - ok
Isaias - nice
Ezra- I like, but too popular imo

Della Mary is great

Ah thanks all. Marella is a real name, it's Irish meaning shining sea- hence the cruise line I guess!

I hope it's a girl even more now after all the love for Della Mary Sharp!

I have a Betsy and I hear it everywhere now, I still love it but it does seem to be becoming more popular.

I love Della though x

Della is great. Strong and not cutesy at all.

Della really does sound great with Sharp. Della Mary Sharp is a lovely combo.

Della Sharpe is lovely. I also love Anna and Beth.

Beth/Betsy - yes
Della-my Nan's name which I love but worry about the connotations for the rest of my family-how does it sound to people who haven't known it all their lives? yes
Anna - yes
Ada - no
Ava-aware this is super popular - no
Marella-This is both our Nan's names Mary and Della put together - quite pretty.
