I lean towards names that are youthful and informal but aren't twee or overused. Obviously everyone's idea of twee, youthful and informal is different so I'll give my list so far and hopefully that can help give the gist

Maria
Lucy
Summer
Alice...

Although I understand the appeal of Elizabeths and Carolines I find them a bit stuffy (speaking as a Katherine). Although I adore Maria it is extremely popular in many Latin countries so it probably won't be used... maybe MN though

How about Emma?

All lovely names. I wouldn't dismiss Maria (unless you actually live in one of the countries where it's so popular?) It's quite rare in children here? I've taught several but every single one has been an international boarder (Spanish). It does seem like, if that limited experience is anything to go on (which I'm sure it can't be), about 20% of Spanish 12-25 year olds are called Maria!

When I think of youthful, informal and not twee, I think:
Astrid, Anna, Aria, Ava, Aubrey, Avery, Bronte, Bella, Bethan, Carys, Cleo, Cassidy, Delphi, Dana, Effie, Etta, Eden, Everly, Faith, Fenella, Giselle, Hallie, Hope, Isla, Ivy, Juniper, Jessica, Kiki, Kyra, Livia, Lara, Leonie, Mika, Mala, Miranda, Nova, Nyah, Piper, Pippa, Quinn, Demi, Romilly, Ramona, Robyn, Saskia, Seren, Saffron, Thea, Tamara, Verity, Wren, Xanthe, Zara, Zeryn, Zia
