I have a middle name, two siblings and an uncle in this post.
Approve!

Love Beatriz, Beatrix, and Beatrice (including the Italian pronunciation Bay-ah-tree-chay, the name of Dante's muse).

Lorelei/Lorelai will always be associated with Gilmore Girls and is thus kind of ruined for me.

I really loved Hattie as a nn but I refuse to name a kid a nn and thought Harriet was too dowdy, even though I loved Harriet the Spy as a kid. We went with Caroline.

I love both Hattie and Harriet and really love the Harriet Tubman association.

Theodora is back in the top 1000 (#859) and I keep seeing it on name lists, and it's significantly more popular in the UK (as is Thea). I think it's about to skyrocket, along with Thea, which is already marching up the charts.

I knew an Arden in high school who was a wonderful, interesting girl whose mom adored Shakespeare. But she was also kind of awkward and Arden is an extremely hard name to pull off as a teenager.

I wouldn’t necessarily use them though.

Miranda is one of my favorites and absolutely on my list. I adore it and it feels so good to say. Actually really love Beatrice too but it is weirdly very popular in DC.

Miranda is very useable and really beautiful.

I am not sure where it is currently, but I was willing to break my own rules for Veronica. It was somewhere in the 300s when our second was born.

The other thread felt unworkable because there are too few names outside the top 1000 that people like, plus it's hard to find lists of names outside the top 1000 since the SSN doesn't rank past that number.

So here's the top 1000: https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/popularnames.cgi

What are your favorite names outside top 200? Some of my choices:

Elise
Natasha
Clare (I just like this spelling)
