Help with our girls names list?

[LittleGwyneth]

DH and I have got three boys names picked out, all quite easy. But we're struggling a bit with girls names.

I like our list so far but none of them are absolutely 'it'. Would love to hear your thoughts on it and any other suggestions.

Like pretty much everyone else we're looking for that sweet spot between unusual(ish) and classic.

Alexandra
Allegra
Amelia
Cecilia
Cecily
Claudia
Cordelia
Edie
Eve
Florence
Georgia
Kitty
Margot
Matilda
Nancy
Persephone
Rosamund
Rosalind
Serena
Stella
Theodora

From your list I love:

Amelia, Claudia, Stella.

Other current favourites are:

Laura
Charlotte
Rosa
Alice
Bridget
Clare
Kate
Olive
Zara
Ruby
Juliet
Felicity
Ella
Rhiannon
Emily

@theoldwoman I love Charlotte too, but it's my mum's name!

OP - she has a lovely name! Do you like any of the other ones?

Lovely list!

I like them all but love Claudia, Cordelia and Nancy with Matilda a close 4th.

My daughter is a Claudia. She has another of your names as a middle name. We haven’t come across another Claudia yet. I also love Cecily, Cecelia, Florence and Felicity from your list. My husband wouldn’t let me have Cecelia which was one of my favourites.

Great list!

I especially love Allegra, Cecily, Eve, Matilda, Rosamund and Theodora.

Ideas:

Adeline
Annabel
Antonia
Beatrice
Bryony
Cicely (prefer this to Cecily)
Constance
Cora
Daphne
Dorothea
Eliza
Evelina
Flora
Frances(ca)
Genevieve
Georgi(a)na

There is nothing unusual(ish) about Amelia. Although its a Gorgeous name. From your list I like.
Cecily. Alexandra. Claudia. Edie. Georgia. Matilda. Amelia.

Cecily - like this, cute name
Claudia - I like it a lot, it would be on our list but I see it as a bit too standard
