Re: 2 boys and Now a Girl! Name Brainstorm- Vintage/Old-Fashioned, Modern and not Overused
in reply to a message by babygirl
I personally would not use Micah for a girl, but YMMV.
Whether a name is "overused" or not is subjective, but you probably would want to avoid Evelyn if you are in the USA as it's been a top ten girls' name here for several years now.
Russell's peak year of use in the USA was 1914. Some girls' names popular at that time which are not now in the top 100 would include Mary, Helen, Dorothy, Margaret, Ruth, Frances, Marie, Florence, Virginia, Rose, Louise, and Irene.
Of the ones you are already considering I think Marie and Leonore fit your criteria the best.
