Classic but not overused girl names

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?

Geraldine? You’re not serious? It’s one of the most ugliest names ever!

Eleanor from your list would go really nicely with those names.

I love Eleanor but dp doesn't like it :(

I like Katherine, Felicity, Eliza, Clara and Harriet which he so far hasn't objected to 😂

I really like Annabelle but I can't see my dp agreeing to that as 'Anna' is part of her name.

Part of his ex's name I mean!

OP- good for you for standing your ground, meet so many little Olivia's and Grace's, I do wonder why people have so little imagination and go with top 10 names despite knowing their kid will be in nursery/school with likely several others. They just become so boring and a little tacky when heard everywhere.

I love Violet from your list and think you should stand your ground with DP.

I have one so am biased but I think Charlotte is lovely. Classic but not overused

s3tut0y3r · 03/10/2019 21:06

Jasmine?

MondeoFan · 03/10/2019 21:12

I work with children and know 10 baby Olivia's age 1-2
Also about 20 Graces's of all different ages.
Amelia is another one.
