Classic but not overused girl names

[Moomin8]

DP and I like Olivia and Grace but I just can't settle on either because I think they are so overused. I want her to have something more unique as that will be nicer for her when she's older. Dp is stuck on Olivia and Grace.

My suggestions, vetoed by dp 🙄

Verity (love this name)
Margot
Violet
Eleanor
Viola
Liberty

Any ideas?

Lucy
Beatrice
Emma
Amy
Evelyn
Eleanor

Louisa
Ellen
Catherine
Hannah
Lucienne
Anna

Elizabeth
Charlotte
Edith
Anna
Juliet
Clara
Harriet
Rose

I really like Dulcie!

I like Calister and Persephone.

I have an uncommon name, neither of the above, and have always loved my name and the fact that there are not many others called it. I didn't meet anyone with the same name til was in my 30s. I would agree a unique name would be nice when she's older, that's always been my experience

Evangeline
Madelaine

I agree that Olivia and Grace and really overused.
I love all of your suggestions, it is a shame the your partner doesn't approve!

Other names I think maybe you'd like are:

Janine?

Janine???
Is that a typo!

I don’t think of Grace and Olivia as classics. They will date soon enough. I don’t think Isabella is a classic either though but I do love it.

Florence, Jemima, Madeleine ( I’ll ignore the McCann comment ) Beatrix, Juliet, Harriet, Posy would go nice with Isabella.

Im an Alice and lots of twatty old men would sing 'who the fuck is Alice' and everyone else would say 'are you Alice in Wonderland?' To be honest it just made it clear they were horrible people straight away! I don't get it much now as the name is more common and I say sarcastically 'Ive never heard that before, you're so funny' which usually shuts people up.

Julia
Felicity
Catherine

Abigail
Cassandra
Celia
Cora
Daphne
Dinah
Dorothy

Edith?
Margaret (Maggie)?

And is it your surname that begins with a B? :)

Because if he's a dp then the choices are yours, and I guess you could very kindly offer to give the baby his surname if you're going to be choosing Verity...

Harriet
Bridget
Verity
Eliza

Thanks for your suggestions. Caroline is already a name that is traditionally used as a middle name in our family otherwise I'd consider that.

So now I've got

Katherine
Clara
Felicity
Alice

to add to the shortlist. Thanks for giving all your suggestions - they have really been helpful.

I like Victoria too but not keen on the inevitable 'Vicky'
