Really struggling to find a decent girl's name that meets my strict criteria - please help me out

[electra]

I have a decent baby name book but I'm becoming increasingly frustrated every time I look in it.

I would like a name that is classic, pretty, stylish not in the top 100 names list and doesn't end in a 'ee' sound (because it won't go with our surname) I tend to like names with Latin origin.

The name I was going to choose is frustratingly also the name of a bloody car but I wanted that particular spelling because of the historical origin. However, I quickly reconciled myself to the fact that the world isn't going to change over night, nor are Renault going to stop making this car. So I thought I would choose a different spelling until I realised this is also the name of Pinocchio's cat! So that just about puts the lid on it

All the other names I like seem to be the name of a child at dd's school (does this matter?), or someone who has died in tragic circumstances.

Any ideas? I have considered

Jemima
Beatrice
Anna (but in top 100)

Also like Isabella but waaaaaay too popular. TIA

I'm glad someone pointed out that you were talking about the fish as I was sat here thinking but Figaros not a girls name

Some lovely names on this thread

Lana
Vanessa

Hermia
Titania (possibly not as the abbreviations are unfortunate)
Miranda
Beatrice
Cordelia
Primrose
Penelope

Agree with icletickle - my daughter and stepdaughter are Verity and Imogen - both gorgeous names although Imogen is getting very popular.

re Jemima- I went to book in at my GP's in January, and saw a new doctor, who turned out to be a trainee GP, Dr Miller. So far, so good. When the senior partner turned up to advise her about something, and told me that "Jemima" would write the letters to the clinic, I must confess that I screamed inwardly and wondered whether she'd been named after the Playschool character. It just didn't the right name for a doctor somehow...

Thanks! You are all so perceptive wrt what names I like. I'm considering these suggestions;

Florence
Constance
Amelia (too popular?)
Cordelia
Anastasia
Julia / Juliet
Annabel
Miranda
Nina
Isadora (but concerned about the tragic connotations associated with Isadora Duncan...)
Marina
Alexandra (too popular?)

Well, Marina would keep the car theme going!

But seriously, that's a great list.

Thanks - MadBad I still may use Clio but obviously concerned as the cars have been around for at least 15 years iirc.....but it is a proper name - after the greek muse.

I have just finished reading a Georgette Heyer book that has a Cléone as a heroine - quite like that, and Léonie too. Also Juliana (since you like Juliet)

Isolde.

if you like Alexandra, how about Cassandra...I think that is quite a cool name

Cassandra always sees the negative though doesn't she??

Henrietta?

Francesca doesn't seem to have been mentioned.

Rosamund
Rosalind
Lucretia
Peta

go with Cleo i love it !

also Clea and Clara

x

How about Felicia - which I prefer to Felicity personally from felix (happy)?

Caroline
Euphemia
Persephonie

I know someone called Felicia - unkind male persons of my acquaintance nicknamed her Fellatio...

yes I suppose that's a point to consider

please use Cleo and not Clio

love Verity and Perdita

chloe...

Veronica
Juliet/Juliette
Honor
