Hello, here are the names I like so far:
Honor
Rose
Eve
Eliza
Frances/Frankie
Tamsen
Camille
Stella
Indigo

So still feminine but not too frilly. Any thoughts on the above or suggestions for other names? Thanks

@Quercusrobur Honor, Eve and Eliza are on my list and I’ve already used Rose so I have to say they’re my favourite. Eve was my absolute favourite name for years and I was denied use by my ex... never forgiven him 😂. Others on my list ... (E)erika, Rowena / Rowenna, Eseld, Isolde, Heidi, Ingrid, Freyja, Theia and Tilda. I have lots of more classic names on my list too. Some very pretty Cornish names which aren’t too common and feminine not frilly - Elowen and Elestren. Also like Indie, Trudie and Edwina. Always think the Scottish Ishbel is a cute and less common departure from Isobel.

From this thread already I love Imogen, Robyn, Iris and Rosalind

I also like Romola and Sylvia or Sylvie. Don't think these two have been mentioned.

My favourite girls name is Manon, but you have to be Welsh or French to pull it off.

I prefer Tasmin to Tamsin. I can just picture a little Taz rampaging around the house!

Love them all bar Indigo!

Someone else’s suggestion of Manon is gorgeous too. What about
