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! 🙈

Mary
Vanessa
Sigrid
Christina

PS I like Diana and think it’s definitely usable.

Marianna
Margaret
Christine
Audrey

Felicity
Katrina
Josephine

Charlotte
Clementine
Lucinda
Jemima

Look at some Shakespeare names, perhaps?

Love Rosalind

Josephine
Alexandra
Dorothy/Dorothea
Dinah rather than Diana?
Hannah
Lydia
Natasha
Natalia

Joanna
Naomi

I like your list. I like quite straightforward old-fashioned names like Rosalind and Juliet. I also love Josephine and Monica and Harriet and Eliza which I think are similar.

Lois, Anna, Sara, Lucy, Julia, Helen or Louise

Katherine, like Elizabeth, is a bit too popular for my liking.

Only 73 Katherines last year doesn’t even make the top 500

I have an Eleanor (but saw that it would be too similar to family names).

I really love Julia.

So elegant & classy! Not over named and every one comments! I still love it years on.

Thanks everyone, a real mix of answers here.

I sort of like Lucinda, Jemima, Felicity but they don’t feel quite natural to me, slightly out of my comfort zone.

Celeste/ Cecilia etc not my vibe.

I love Belinda but have heard a lot mixed opinions on here for it! Like Josephine.

Victoria, Harriet, Joanna are family names so couldn’t use them.

Rose, Grace, Georgina etc too popular for me.

Stephanie

I love Alexandra and Suzannah.

I certainly wouldn't say they were popular now.

Jennifer.
