Help me find a girl's name!

I'm really struggling with a girl's name. Names I like- but don't like enough- are:

Fleur
Clementine
Felicity
Isabella

I'm looking for something traditional but underused, and ideally a bit unusual. Please can you suggest things to me?

Fleur is probably my favourite on your list, but not too keen
on others tbh.

Erin
Clarissa
Marissa
Freya
Seren
Celeste
Saffron
Olivia
Esther
Alayna/Elayna
Adeline
Marcia
(Not all to my taste, but might help!)

Good luck!

Similar to Fleur - Fay, Fern, Claire, Skye, Rose
Clementine - don't like it
Felicity - too long
Isabella - very pretty but too long, don't like Izzy or Bella.

Liberty?

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 30/09/2018 18:49

Felicity is lovely. What about Fenella? It's my godmother's name and I love it...

Other 'virtue' names are very pretty too:
Patience
Hope
Charity
Mercy
Verity
Honor

Not Grace, though... It's really overused now

Milana is one name that got mis-typed, and Pavia, no idea what I was thinking there. It's actually a name but not one I intended.
