Thank you everyone!
For me it’s classic names ([name]Catherine[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Anne[/name]), crisp/clean sounding names ([name]Elle[/name], [name]Raina[/name], [name]Frances[/name]), slightly exotic feeling names ([name]Galina[/name], Shoshanna, [name]Ingrid[/name], [name]Paloma[/name])
Almost always they are familiar, spelled the standard way, not quirky or cutesy.
Some word & nature names fit the bill, but usually only the ones that have long been used as names like [name]June[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Veronica[/name] or [name]Iris[/name].
