Baby girl names you love and don't hear often?

Anonymous
Help! DH and I are unable to come up with a name we love for DD #3, due in a few months. Our first two girls have names that we adore: Molly and Cara. We cannot come up with another girls name that we like as much. Seeking something easily recognizable, not trendy, and pretty but not too frou-frou feminine.

A few ideas we've tossed around and rejected:
Jacqueline (too long/too many possible spellings)
Alison (too many possible spellings/too popular)
Julia (too popular in my opinion? Still on my DH's list)

What's the best girl name you've heard recently, or one you just love? We are open to any and all suggestions. Thank you!!!

I have a Julia and Natalie and Margaret seem more popular to me (at least going by kids I've met). I was going to say Audrey and Daphne.

I really like the late 70's names of girls I grew up with. We need more Jessicas and Natalies and Samathas in the world.

I've always loved the names Emily and Sara (no H!) too.

Julia is great! Don't hear it a lot. We know one locally and one in MO.

I happen to love Jacqueline, and all of the variations and nicknames. Don't know any kids with that name at the moment.

Some others I love but don't hear these days:
Vanessa
Vivian
Heather
Lauren
Leigh
Lana

Based on your older girl's names how about:

Megan
Kate or Katie
Emily
Leah
Susan
Rosemary
Greta

You're other kids names read 40's/50's to me. Maybe look at a list of popular names for that era or movie stars or something to get ideas?
