Really struggling with girl names!

[liviadrusilla]

Help! Really stuck on girls names - lots I quite like, but none I love.

Top contender is Livia (I'm a classicist), but slightly concerned because I'm not Italian (and she will spend a lot of time clarifying that she's not Olivia)
Like Sophia, Cecilia, Isla and Elspeth.

But very stuck! Torn between wanting a nice classical name but nothing too out there, or a classic English name. I don't want something extremely common, but also nothing too unique. Grateful for any ideas!

Evangeline
Aurelia

With Olivia being so popular at the moment, and in recent years, I do think she would spend a lot of time saying "No not 'Olivia'", you are right.

What about Elizabeth ?

Nina
Edith
Celia
Tamsin
Bryony

Ismene
Alessandra
Rosaline
Magdalene
Sylvia
Jacinta
Leonora
Vanessa
Nadia
Audrey
Elaine
Jennifer
Dinah.

How about Juliet?

Ophelia
Claudia
Ariana
Arabella
Elspeth
Louisa
Cecilia
Rosa

Vita is a gorgeous classical girl's name. Or Cecilia?

If you like Livia, why not Ligia, or Lydia?

Lyra

Lydia?

Yes I love Vita and Alba too.

Not keen on Livia or Olivia tbh. It’s not a classic imo, I think it’s dated now.

I like Livia, Cecilia and Elspeth from your list.

You could also consider:
Hebe
Minerva
Julia
Clarissa
Drusilla
Felicity
Selena

Shakespearean names are always classic. Juliet, Rosalind, Portia etc

Helena

Delilah
Edith (Eddie)
Margaret (Maggie)
Ottilie (Ottie)
Willa

Imogen (Shakespearean)

Guinevere

Livia is lovely, my twin nieces are Alivia and Alexis.

If you like Italian names, what about Allegra? It means joyful, lively and happy. I do also think this could sounds like a nice mix of Italian/English

Allegra
Anna
Dulcie - (I think this is lovely and unusual)
Erica
Etta
Eliza
Georgia - Could have Giorgia (Italian spelling)
Pippa
Rosa
Roma
Romilly

Verity
Monica
Cecilia

Beatrice
Michelle
Anna

Clementine
Tabitha
Lucia
Serena

Agree Livia will lead to confusion.

Aurora

I think Livia is a recognisably different name from Olivia - and much nicer.
Cecilia is great as well.
Others: Rosalind, Susannah, Miranda, Tabitha

Beatrix
Thomasin
Clemency
Edith
Juliet
Rowena
Imogen
Frances
Cicely
Bridget
I particularly like Elspeth from your list.

Helena
