Please help me with girl's names suggestions for a picky DP!

[Missus84]

My DP is being very difficult particular about choosing girls' names. He's vetoed pretty much every name I like for various reasons.

Basically I'm now looking for names that are

*classic but not posh
*unusual but not weird
*not too short (at least 5 letters)
*have options for nicknames

Anyone have a good suggestion, or does this perfect name not exist?

Florence - shorten to Florrie, Flo, Flossie, Floss.
Matilda - shorten to Tilly, Tilda, Matty.
Georgina - Georgie.
Elizabeth - Lizzy, Betty, Liz, Beth.
Charlotte - Charlie, Lottie.

Just off the top of my head...

Sophie. (Soph)
Elizabeth. (Betsy, Liz, Lizzie, Lisbet, Beth)
Francesca. (Fran, Cesca,)
Jessica. (Jessie, Jess)
Katharine. (Kate, Katy, Katie, Kitty, Kathy)Isobel (Belle, Izzy)
Any good for himself ?!

Greta
Kirsten
Cosima
Annelies / Annelies / Annelise
Gisela
Annamaria
Magdalena / Lena / Madeleine
Helena
Annika
Frieda
Lara
Anastasia
Romy
Beata/ Beatrice
Johanna
Linnea
Theodora
Natasha
Clara
Elizabeth

Cordelia - nn Cordie
Cecelia - love nn Cece
Beatrice - nn Bea
Arianna
Saskia nn Sassy
Delphine
Meredith
Phillipa nn Pip
Penelope nn Nell/Penny

Corinna nn Corin/Cora or Nina
Georgina nn Georgie/Gina
Eugenie nn Gene
Otillie nn Tilly
Olivia nn Liv/Livia

Thanks, great suggestions! Unfortunately I have a huge number of sisters and cousins who already have lots of the good names - Florence, Jessica, Elizabeth, Katherine are already taken.

Isobel and Mathilda have also been rejected for being too popular.

Beatrice is on the list though there have been discussions about whether or not it is posh. Theodore is on the boys list!

Francesca I hadn't considered but it might be a goer. Kirsten and Magdalena are going on the list too.

Julia/Juliet?
Gabriella?
Louise?
Rebecca?
Harriet?
Clarice?

Martha

I love Rebecca - classic, but not many people using it at the moment, plus lots of shortened versions (much prefer Becca to Becky, though).

I really like Vivien / Vivienne / Vivian shortened to Vivi (as opposed to Viv)

Belinda/Melinda - Bel/Mel, Mindy, Melly, Linda, Lindy
Selena - Sel, Lena
Marianne - Mari, Anne

I had a whole more, but lost my post!

my new niece is called Rebecca which I agree is pretty however I can't get over the fact it means heifer

florence - Flossie

Helena or Eleanor are both lovely and can be shortened if need be

Elisabeth nn Lissie or Betsy

Imogen nn Mimi or Immie
Camille nn Millie or Mimi
Celeste nn Cele

Felicity (Fliss)

Hadn't thought of Corinna, thanks.

Love Josephine but my brother is called Joseph so not sure if it's too close.

Also love Rebecca but DP vetoed it for reasons I can't remember now.

Lots of good suggestions
