Looking for inspiration to add to my girls' list

Girl Names
1

Not pregnant, and not trying yet, but we will be possibly this winter or beginning of next year. I want to make sure that whatever name we end up with is one which I have loved for a good, long time—because even in the last year or so that I’ve been really thinking about names, my choices have wavered quite a bit. I am terrified of name regret.

We’re pretty sure about a particular boy choice that we’re likely to use, as it’s a family name with a lot of significance. I’d like to work on our girls’ list a bit. Thankfully, husband and I have similar taste/naming style—we appreciate classics with history and meaning, we like uncommon/unusual names, and we loathe trendiness.

Current favorites: (of mine, husband isn’t completely sold on all of these but the potential is there)

[name_f]Leonie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f]
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Edith[/name_f]
[name_f]Adelina[/name_f]
[name_f]Elodie[/name_f]

Based on my style, can you give me your recommendations to add to it?

Ooo…very pretty choices! I adore [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] from your list. [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] has wonderful vintage nickame-name vibes, and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] makes me think of an old white Victorian-style house with vines of ivy crawling up the sides. Other names you might like:

[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosaline[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcella[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]

Thank you!!

Standouts so far to me from these great suggestions are:

[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f] (this is a little GP for me, I like it and love the nn “[name_f]Nessa[/name_f],” but don’t think DH would go for it)
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] (I think I love this for a middle spot)
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] (I prefer [name_f]Aurelie[/name_f], and had it on my list for a while, then realized it sounds like “orally.” Darn!)

I love these, but can’t use because of various reasons:

[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f]/a (mom’s name is [name_f]Sara[/name_f])
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] (my name is [name_f]Emily[/name_f])
[name_f]Sidonia[/name_f] (niece’s name is [name_u]Sydney[/name_u])
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] (have a friend by this name)
