I love [name_u]Wren[/name_u] and [name_f]Eve[/name_f]. I tend to prefer wren as a nn, but I still think it is girly in a subtle and nature-loving way. [name_f]Eve[/name_f] is so classically pretty and simple.
I will try to name some that have no frills that haven’t been mentioned yet.

I love “no-frills” names. They’re may not be the most exciting or interesting names on the block but that’s their charm - they’re not fussy and they don’t try too hard. They’re just themselves - solid, safe and comfortable - and that’s fine by me. Many of them are one-syllable standouts but that’s not a requirement.

I tend to like none filly names like [name_f]Esther[/name_f], [name_f]Enid[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u]. I’m pretty sure the only reason I like [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] is because of [name_u]Harley[/name_u] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] though. It seems really out of place on my list. 
[name_f]Glad[/name_f] to see my own name getting so much love; its no-frills quality is one of the things I like best about it.
Others I like:
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]

[name_f]Inez[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]
[name_f]Kate[/name_f]
They’re mostly super cutesy or really old-lady - I don’t do the whole [name_u]Winn[/name_u]/[name_f]Brynn[/name_f]/[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]/[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] thing…

Some of these are strong contenders if I ever have a girl, but I think I’d feel like I’d have to go no- or low- frills for all of my girl names if I do that. I don’t think sibling names have to “match,” but it would feel unfair to name one daughter [name_f]Anne[/name_f] and another [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] or [name_f]Isadora[/name_f]. I think either the fancier or the plainer named child might make a case for having got the shaft there.
No frills are my favorite! No frills can still be soft and feminine, or girly yet strong. I think of names like (my personal favorites) [name_f]Carys[/name_f], [name_f]Sonia[/name_f], [name_f]Clio[/name_f], [name_f]Ayla[/name_f], [name_f]Diana[/name_f], and [name_f]Neve[/name_f].
[name_f]Oceane[/name_f]
[name_u]Adair[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_u]Bay[/name_u]
[name_u]Sorrel[/name_u]
I like all the ones from your list except for [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]. I don’t dislike [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]–I just don’t like it as much as the others. When I think of no frills, I think of something along the lines of [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], and [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]–all of which have been (or currently are!) on my list, and I adore all three. I would add [name_f]Elise[/name_f] (or just [name_f]Lise[/name_f]?), [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Anne[/name_f] (love the wonderfully simple [name_f]Anne[/name_f], especially with a frillier middle, like [name_f]Anne[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]!). I don’t know if [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] fits in this category or not, but she’s classic and definitely not frilly, so I’ll claim her, too.
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Grier[/name_f]
[name_u]Ever[/name_u]
[name_u]Reagan[/name_u]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
These are great names! No- frills are probably my favorite.
