[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]/[name_f]Louise[/name_f] are two of my favorite names right now. I love that neither are in the top 1,000 but both are recognizable. I consider both to be classics, along with other names on my list ([name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], etc.).
Are there any other names that fit the criteria of being uncommon but recognizable, classic, or old fashioned?
The name doesn’t have to be outside the top 1000 but preferrably outside the top 750 and not rising quickly. I don’t have an opposition to popular names but I’m just looking for fresh ideas because none of the names I’ve been able to come up with seem like “the” name.
Here are a few I’ve considered:
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (and Lusine [loo-see-neh], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], etc.)
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] (and many names that lend the [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] nickname including [name_f]Noelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f])
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] (and names to give the [name_f]Lily[/name_f] nickname [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], etc.)
[name_f]Callie[/name_f]/[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Eva[/name_f] for the NN [name_f]Evie[/name_f] (and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] but I want to use [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] in the future so [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is out)
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
No names containing [name_f]Anne[/name_f]. Middle name will be [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. Apparently, I’m also looking for a name that is easily nicknameable, too.
I really like [name_f]Estella[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f], and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f].
[name_f]Callie[/name_f] is on my long list but I’d prefer to have a full name for it but the only one I somewhat like is [name_f]Calla[/name_f], which isn’t my favorite.
