Baby Name Help!

Hello!
My partner and I found out a few weeks ago that our expectant baby is a Girl! We are of course super happy, but we were both convinced I was having a boy, and therefore only had boy names listed.
I have been looking online for baby girl name inspiration and I can’t seem to find any that I like (and the few I do like, my partner doesn’t and vice versa.. typical)
We really want a name that isn’t too common, but not too unusual either. I really like the name Darcey, for example but my partner doesn’t. We both like the name Ophelia, but would like to come up with a few other options as well. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks smile

Ophelia feels quite frilly to me, whereas Darcey is more 'straightforward'.
Maybe a longer, frillier name with a shorter nickname might suit you both?

Alexandra - Ally / Xan / Alex / Andra
Madeleine - Maddy / Lainey
Olivia - Liv / Livvy / Libby
Emilia - Emmy / Lia /Mia / Millie
Matilda - Matty / Tillie / Millie
Penelope - Penny / Polly
Harriet - Hattie / Hettie
Rosalie - Rosie
