I love names that are simple, pretty, classics: Hannah, Lucy, Alice etc.

Looking for a name like that, that I didn’t grow up surrounded by.

Darcey is nice, but I’m put off by the variety of spellings.

Any ideas?

Darcey isn’t at all like Hannah, Alice and Lucy, though. It’s the other end of the spectrum. How about Anna?

Yes I realised that after posting & seeing them written like that

Anna is a close relative unfortunately as it would otherwise be perfect

Some suggestions are relatives (annoyingly large family!)

I’m loving Rose & Ada

Jane & Julia are interesting suggestions

Beatrice is longer / fussier than the names I’d looked at before but I really like it - definitely going to think about that one!
