Please post your girls shortlist (current/past/potential) for inspiration?

[sedgiebaby]

Would you be kind enough to share your shortlist for girl's names please?

Whether it is a current one or an old one or a 'if I ever one day have a little girl' list because I'm struggling to come up with a list of my own and time is going on.

Lists from all language/ethnic groups are really welcome.

I'm hoping that pooling ideas will help me and others - this is not for critiquing, just for inspiring!

As soon as I can tidy up my scruffy WordPad list I will post what I have. Thanks in advance

Hannah
Esme

Elizabeth (Betty)
Katherine (Kitty)

Phoebe

Past list: Eva, Ava, Darcey, Martha, Rachael, Emma, Flora....they're all I can remember...
