I love Tamsin! Was that really used less than 20 times last year?
Names that I think could work well:
Tamsin!
Mercer
Joplin
Lazuli
Garnet
Vale
Nimue
Connelly
Garland
Names I really wouldn’t recommend:
Portlyn - It’s only one letter off from “portly”, which means fat. I think that might encourage teasing.
Cozy, Buffy, Dusty, Tansy, Jettie, and Bixby - I don’t see these working nearly as well on an adult as they would on a child. I think they’d be better as nicknames.
Maguire - if Maggie wouldn’t be an option, I wouldn’t use this for a girl.
Cricket - something I really wouldn’t want to be named after.
Leland, Clancy, and Talon are pretty well established for boys, and only boys. I don’t know if that bothers you or not, just thought you should be aware of it.
And as for the Calvary/Cavalry thing:
They are two very different kinds of names.
“Calvary” is the name of the place where Jesus died in the Bible, and as such would be seen as an overtly religious choice.
“Cavalry” refers to an army on horseback, and so is a bit closer to the cowgirl style of your moodboard?
