Please help - girls names, unusual, but not too modern/unique names

[DoraDee]

Hi all, please help me with girls names!

We have a shortlist but cannot agree on a favourite so wondering if a name is still out there to be discovered!

We like names that are not used frequently, and some older names, names with two or more syllables, names like Astrid or Elowen, Cecelia etc.

Looking forward to hearing some I’ve not thought of!

RE Elowen and hunting for an unusual name-

In the current Top 100 girls names there are a lot that either start with EL/L or have L/LL in the middle.

These are ALL top 100 atm:

Lily
Lilly
Lyra
Lyla
Lola
Lucy
Layla
Lexi
Lottie
Luna
Elodie
Ella
Eleanor
Elsie
Ellie
Eliza

Plus:
Willow
Millie
Hallie
Bella
Holly etc

Worth mentioning that Eloise sits just outside of the top 100 at #106 so if you call her Elowen there is a chance she may be in a year group with an Elodie and Eloise and maybe even another Elowen. As these names aren't timeless like Elizabeth or Alice they may become faddy and be associated with a particular decade.

If you're looking for an unusual name it may not stay unusual for long.

Older, 2+ syllable name suggestions:

Agnes
Cressida
Agatha
Daphne
Margaret / Maggie
Gertrude
Frances
Sylvia
Caroline
Lydia
Minerva
Abigail
Dorothy
Josephine
Rosalind

Leonora

Leonie

Good point by pp about “L” names being very popular, but I quite like these ones.
