I am struggling to find a name that I really love. Stylistically, I love names like [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], but I am not fond of how popular they are/are becoming. While I would prefer the name not be too different or difficult to pronounce, I definitely do not want there to be 10 other kids at school with the same name. Also, I would rather the name not end in -a, but if I really love a name that does, that would not stop me from using it. Sorry I feel like I might be being too picky, I just really want to find something I am in love with. What suggestions do you have for me? Thanks:D
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] was my first thought. It’s not nearly as popular as the other three names you mentioned.
[name_f]Vivienne[/name_f] was my first thought too. Maybe [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] or [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]?

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Autumn[/name_f]? It is somewhat popular but really beautiful. [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is very pretty as well. I also thought of [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]: you could use the nicknames [name_f]Lola[/name_f] or [name_u]Penny[/name_u].
Here are some names that for me have a similar feel to [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], and [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], but aren’t quite as popular.
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f]

[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenore[/name_f]
[name_f]Wendy[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmaline[/name_f]
I’m going to suggest [name_f]Valerie[/name_f] [name_f]Claudette[/name_f] or [name_f]Helen[/name_f] [name_m]Olivier[/name_m]
I adore [name_f]Olive[/name_f]!!!
Oh my gosh, you are describing my preferences to a T! How funny! I also gravitate to similar names but want something out of the top 100 or maybe even a little further down the rankings but I also don’t want something crazy out there either! However I don’t share your “ends in -a” feelings. So I’ll list some names I’ve tossed around and hopefully one of them will work for you! Let me know if you like any.
Adelaide - Classic, not hard to pronounce, lots of nickname options: Ada, Dela, Addie, Lady
Adeline - Similar to above name with a lighter feel to it
Anneliese or the American spelling Annalise - #457 so way down there on the list but means “grace”, how lovely? Also great range of nickname options so you can pick one that suits baby girls’ personality as you get to know her: Anne, Anna, Annie, Nellie, Elise, Lise, Lisey (lee-see)
Arabelle - Although Arabella is #210, Arabelle is hidden down at #1815 and it means “answered prayer” which is very sweet, especially if you’ve been hoping for baby for awhile. Also lovely nn Ara, Ari, Aria, Belle, Bella, Elle, Ella.
Cecily - Kind of like Cecilia but without the “a” ending. Very classic, very underused.
Celia - Sounds fresh but a totally vintage name with history behind it. Way down the rankings at #788 and it means “heavenly” as all baby girls certainly are.
Cora / Coralie / Cordelia - Lovely, classics. For Coralie and Cordelia you could use nicknames Cora, Coral or Delia too.
Emmaline - Emma, Emmie, Lina for nicknames. I love the sound of this name, very sweet and feminine.
Evangeline - Eva, Evie, Vivi, Gigi, Angel, Angie, Vangie, Lina = nicknames galore with a totally gorgeous, timeless formal name.
Josephine - #147 so not super popular but still well enough known to not be totally out there. Nicknames galore from girlie like Posy, Phina (feena) to spunky like Jo and Josie.
Mabel - This was one of my top picks for our little girl on the way but hubby didn’t like it. It means “loveable” and is #707. Possible nicknames Mae, Belle, Elle.
Rosaline / Rosamund / Rosalind / Rosalie / Rosalyn - Great variations of Rose with a slightly different pronunciation/feel to each one so you can pick one that suits you best. Very soft and sweet and just a touch sassier than Rose.
I also thought of [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]. Other options:
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] / [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] or [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]
