Sophisticated and underused

We are are struggling to find girls names that we both like. Hoping for something quite strong and sophisticated. DH doesn't like anything too flowery.

We like things like Louisa, Susannah, Imogen... just to give an example. Hoping you could help with some more suggestions?

Imogen is gorgeous and my favourite from your list. It's numbers have been dropping for about ten years now so it's very underused

I'm not British, I'm Danish, so I'm not sure what is considered sophisticated and strong in your culture, however, I'll provide you with my imput anyway Grin

Think Louise sounds more sophisticated than Louisa - A ending sounds tend to be less sophisticated and more "flowery" imo!
Also:
Sophie
Charlotte
Jane
Also hit the strong but sophisticated note for me.

Susannah like Louisa is a strong name but not sophisticated sounding.

Imogen is also a strong name but has kind of a bohemian feel to me!
