Congratulations on your new baby girl.
I really like a lot of the names on your list, and think that there is definitely potential for a beautiful name that aligns with your preferences.
[name_f]Sally[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f] and [name_u]Jodie[/name_u] are the Isabellas and Olivias of the yester years. Whilst not quite as on trend as the Top 10, they are still undeniably popular - particularly [name_f]Molly[/name_f], who has a distinctly sweet 80s vibe. I don’t think these names are as distinctive as some of the other ones you have in mind, particularly [name_u]Jodie[/name_u], however it’s all a matter of personal preference.
[name_f]Cricket[/name_f] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] are in a class of their own. Wonderfully original, [name_f]Cricket[/name_f] has an innocent and jovial quality that I think would be very endearing. [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is slightly less unusual ( but nice nonetheless) and I think it would work very well as a middle name.
[name_f]Alana[/name_f] and [name_f]Oona[/name_f] are slightly more elegant. I much prefer [name_f]Oona[/name_f] to [name_f]Alana[/name_f]; less popular yet more mysterious, [name_f]Oona[/name_f] oozes warmth and beauty and I think this would make a lovely first name.
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] is another favourite from your list. Original yet not obscure, there are also plenty of opportunities for nicknames.
If you like this name, might I suggest [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] or [name_f]Margaux[/name_f] as other options.
As for middle names, the one I like best on your list is [name_f]Gaye[/name_f]. It’s not the traditional ‘filler’ middle name, and could go perfectly with some of your existent potentials. [name_f]Gail[/name_f] could also be another alternative, as could [name_f]Gaia[/name_f]. That said, [name_f]Mae[/name_f] does work wonderfully with a lot of your potential names.
