Girls name- classic but not “try hard”

[Cinnabomb]

Looking for inspiration! I am soooooo fussy about names and have read pages of threads here. I would a name that is classic, that most people would have heard of/ know how to spell, but is not popular. I reeeeally don’t like the current trend for very frilly/ over the top sounding names (sorry, just an opinion!)

I like:
Rosalind, Susannah, Alexandra (maybe a bit too popular), Juliet,

Dislike: Ottilie, Amelie, Freya, Ophelia, Verity, the whole Ada/Eva, Ivy Evelyn set etc

Margot, Clara etc becoming too popular

Don’t like too complex names like Arabella, Genevieve,

So if there is anyone left I haven’t offended would be great to hear your thoughts! 🙈

Honestly I would go with Alexandra. It's beautiful.

Diana is good, I think.
Julia
Marianne
Louisa
Claudia
Lydia

Imogen
Helena
Lucinda nn Lucy
Cecily
Hope
Frances
Josephine nn Josie
Georgina

I also think Julia, Antonia and Laura are due a revival!

Jocelyn
Harriet
Katherine
Elizabeth
Constance

I love the name Martha

Harriet?

Erin
Magdalene
Beatrix
Cassie
Amber
Tabitha
Corinne
Grace
Ashleigh

Dionne
Fern

Anna
Emma
Laura
Sarah

I think Diana is usable, but then it’s on my own shortlist. The association is there but I don’t think it’s overwhelming and it’s not like there aren’t other notable Diana’s or that it’s such a rare name that there’s only one point of reference. But I admit I might be biased that way because I love the name.

I think Diana is useable as outlined above.

Out of your list, my fave is Susannah...it is a lovely, under-used, classic name. Also a cute nn if you like Susie xx

Mabel
Victoria
Paige
Abigail
Penelope
Dorothy
Athena
Grace
Audrey
Elizabeth

I don't perceive Alexandra as a popular name at the moment

I will suggest

Marianne
Helen
Talitha / Tabitha
Victoria
Abigail
Paula
Laura
Caroline
Bethan
Jocelyn
Josephine
Katherine
Nicola

Sorry for any repeats:
Tabitha
Rowena
Miranda
Meredith
Martha
Livia
Hester
Eleanor
Felicity
Constance
Cecily
Thea
Dorothea
Dorothy
Eliza
Tess
Ursula

I really like Rosalind and Susannah from your list.
