HelpLight and Bubbly
So I'm thinking my standard girls names feel too serious. I usually keep the likes of Charlotte, Anna, Elisabeth, Caroline, Eleanor, and Josephine handy as favorites, but my absolute top combo at the moment is a much fluffier feeling Amelia Joy. I don't really want frilly (I'm thinking of Isabella or Gabriella), but just softer, less stuffy, less typical type names.
Any old lists would be appreciated. :)

Ya know, I never really think about Cecily other than your DD, but when I isolate it as just a name, I do think I quite like it. Amelia and Cecily sound darling, don't they?! Thanksomuch for sharing it as a contribution to the list! :)

I just want to say that your screen name is fabulous. Please don't ever change it. :-)
They seek him here. They seek him there. Those Frenchies seek him everywhere . . . .

I don't worry, I certainly don't intend to change it :D
So, I take it you like The Scarlet Pimpernel?

Me, too! Me, too! I am a Terrence Mann fangirl, actually. But I love musicals in general, and SP is well placed on my faves list. :)

I'll try to list light, airy girl names. But if they veer into fluffy-dom I'm not resposible. :-)
Leonie ("LEE-uh-nee" or "LAY-uh-nee") / Leontine, Sylvia / Sylvie,
Isla, Elspeth / Elsa, Aisling, Alicia, Eliane, Helena ("HEL-en-uh"), Callista, Lydia, Cordelia, Verity, Jessamine, Celeste, Adele, Eleanora, Josepha, Carolina, Carlotta, Annabel, Leandra, Jamila.

Jamila
My daughter would have liked to be called Jamila,when she discovered that both her paternal great-grandmothers had been named that.(I guess it was the Charlotte or Ava of that time and place.)
My husband, though, pronounces it Gamila, which I don't like. Not that I knew about the same-named grandmothers at the time.

While I don't think any of those names individually are that serious, I can see what you mean when they're all listed together against Amelia Joy. When you said light and bubbly, Lily came to mind first. Here are some other "softer" ones:
Lucy
June
Dahlia
Delia - are Dahlia and Delia frilly?
Wren
Susannah?
Adelle?
Adeline!
Lyra
Lisette
Nina
Iris
Rosalie
Galia
Adelaide
Corinne
Bridget / Brigitte / Brigitta, etc.
Sonia
Christina
Madeline
I'll leave it at that. :-) Like any?
