Ok so for various reasons, we’ve ditched our front runners and need help!!
We love classic girls names that are not exactly run of the mill. I am a teacher and am very sure that I do not want my child to be one of three so-and-so’s in her class!
What are you favorite vintage/classic/not too common names for girls??

Thanks! These are a bit too old fashioned, though. I love names like [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f]. But can’t use either! Any other suggestions?

This forum seems right up my alley, too! I was a teacher before deciding to be at home with my son. I love classic names that don’t sound too old. Right now, I love the names [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Elodie[/name_f] with nn’s being [name_f]Elle[/name_f] or [name_f]Elly[/name_f]. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Jane[/name_f]? Classic, but rarely seen as a first name. [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]? [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Allison[/name_u], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], names from my signature?
It depends on your taste if it was me I would go with some like… [name_f]Katherine[/name_f], [name_f]Genevive[/name_f], [name_f]Joanne[/name_f], [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Emma[/name_f], or [name_f]Marie[/name_f]. Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m] 
[name_m]How[/name_m] about…
