Help! Girl names outside of top 100, but not too “out there.”

Girl Names
1

I am lost on baby names right now. I always had [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] picked for a little girl, but it’s become too popular for me. I love [name_u]Blair[/name_u]/[name_u]Blaire[/name_u], but the feedback I’ve gotten just leaves me unsettled. Now I’m actually questioning whether I still like it. I typically like names that give a preppy/sophisticated vibe (both of those did to me), but now I’m questioning my style altogether. For example, I like the name [name_f]Kinley[/name_f], but it doesn’t sound good with our last name. I like [name_u]Hadley[/name_u], but too popular.

I’m feeling so discouraged. I mean… I’m only 21 weeks, so there’s time, but I feel pressure like she’s going to have this name forever and I have no clue what I will choose. I’m not liking anything right now.

Care to suggest some names that are outside the top 100 but maybe go along with the names I’ve mentioned here or in my signature? Thanks everyone!

I’m curious as to why [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] is suddenly too popular for you. It’s been in the top 50 since 2008, and was at it’s most popular in 2013.

[name_f]May[/name_f]/[name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] (I think it’s a name that’s very familiar, but isn’t common)

The first name that came to mind when you mentioned sophisticated and preppy was [name_f]Claire[/name_f].

Or, maybe you’d be interested in some of the variations of [name_f]Claire[/name_f]?

[name_f]Clara[/name_f] (or [name_f]Klara[/name_f])
[name_f]Clarice[/name_f]
[name_m]Clarence[/name_m]

I just imagine a sweet smile, good manners, and a little string of pearls. [name_m]Just[/name_m] my two cents.

15

[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t get too discouraged by negative feedback on a name. If everyone loves the name it is going to be popular, which you don’t want. Most of these have been suggested already, but some preppy sounding names to me are:

[name_u]Bryn[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_u]Fallon[/name_u]
[name_u]Fifer[/name_u]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_f]Harlow[/name_f]
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_u]Marlow[/name_u]
[name_u]Merritt[/name_u]
[name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_u]Reese[/name_u]
[name_u]Sloane[/name_u]
[name_u]Tegan[/name_u]

16

[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]?

17

It was #184

18

I think [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] is very pretty and it’s not common. It’s at #184 on popularity. It sounds very elegant but you can get good nick names out of it too like genny or eve or eve or evie
