Girl's name challenge

[lifesnotaspectatorsport]

I've found so many fab names on these threads, hoping someone can help me find the right name for my first daughter. The challenge:

• Has to be fairly unusual (her brother's name is very rare but an old English name)
• No flower names
• No feminine versions of male names eg Philippa, Erica etc
• Nothing too girly (like Posy or Belle)
• Middle name will be Genevieve
• Surname begins with L, 3 syllables. So combined with the long middle name, it needs to be fairly short.

Suggestions please!

Kayla Genevieve
Tiffany Genevieve
Martha Genevieve
Tanya Genevieve
Coral Genevieve
Delia Genevieve

Cora
Coral
Daphne
Edith
Lana
Loretta

Vita
Mary (very unusual these days...)

Another one: Daphne. Similar in style to ones you like.

About Elsa.
Now sat here with "Do you wanna build a snowman" going through my head.
Maybe not such a good suggestion after all.

Hawise/Hawisa
Joan/Joanna
Edith/Enid

Iseult
Payton
Agnes

Hmm. Only Ismay/Ismae has made it onto the list so far. I think all the Ruth/ Mary/ Zara/ Cora etc are not unusual enough for us. Prefer nothing in the top 500 names at least. But thanks for the suggestions! It's really helpful 😊

Indigo
Cassidy
Meredith
Kendra
Anna
Ariel

well if you are thinking about connotations - Ismay was the last name of the managing director of the white star line who was on board the Titanic sank ( he survived it but came in for criticism) I realise this is stretching a point but some who know or have seen the film may make the association.

I think Zoe , Stella , Daphne are lovely but maybe not unusual enough for you - I am hazarding a guess at old English name for a boy might be Piers ? So something on similar lines?

Isla ? Inga ? Hero ? ( all mentioned by others. ) I also think Vita could do a cracking job or Celia ?

Tuppence ?

Oh all best whatever you choose

Can you let us in on your boys name to give an idea of style.

Not sure if any of these have been mentioned but how about

Aphra
Annis
Bess
Dana/Danu
Godiva
Mab or Mabel
Marion
Robin
Willow

Good luck finding a name. I had the same issue with a second boy's name but we ended up with a girl so it was easy in the end.

Isn't Ismay a variant of Esme, which is not at all unusual?

Araminta
Melisande
Clarissa
Linnea
Ika (pron Eeka)
Katinka

Daria
Daina (pron Dyna)
Jana (pron Yana)
Sanna
Signe (pron Sinya). I knew someone called this and it suited her very well

Felice
Fidelia
Maren (pron with a long a)
Verena
Beryl

Some classical ideas:

Clio (pron Cl-eye-oh)
Io
Callista
Ianthe
Xanthe
Hero
Una
Isolde
Electra

I've come up with another idea: what do people think of Magdalen Genevieve?

I like it but I prefer Magdalena personally.

How about Harriet?
