If you're not into "insanely popular or trendy names," I recommend
in reply to a message by Mommy to be
starting over with your list. Those names come up really often on this message board, which is a good trend setter/predicter/follower and probably indicates they're going to be everywhere soon. You might not see it now, but wait until your kid hits kindergarten.
Of those I like Claire most. But if I was to come up with less common alternatives I'd suggest:
*Clara (For every twenty Claires on this board, I see maybe one Clara)
*Carol (at least uncommon in younger generations)
*Clarity
*Coralie
*Cordelia
*Elaine
*Edith
*Elodie
*Eidel
*Ellen (It's common but it's popularity doesn't seem to be very high on younger girls)
*Judith
*Justine
*Josephine
*Junia
*Julianne (Only a little different)
