Unisex, not girly and I don’t think it will date imo.

My 12 yr old DD is called Shae/Shay kids at school think it's a cool name.

worstwitch18 · 29/06/2020 09:24

Abigail
Ingrid
Imogen
Frances
Niamh

Maybe Louise, Lauren, Harriet, or Anne.

Or something that shortens like:
Alex(andra)
Jo(anne/anna)
Sam(antha)

I wouldn’t say non-girly means unisex. To me, it means an established female name, not cutesy or twee, that has stood the test of time for generations, if not hundreds of years.
