Hi all! I'm 36 weeks with our third (!) girl and still trying to decide on a name. We have a short list, but three out of four of the names on it are in the top 100 in our state, and I'm a little hesitant about using a name that's so popular off the bat. Dd1's name is in the top 100 now, but wasn't when she was born, and Dd2 is solidly in the 200s. We rarely run into anyone with either of their names.
I tend to gravitate toward classic names, and ones that lend themselves to family nicknames but aren't going to get automatically shortened by everyone they meet. I love old lady and nature names, but first two daughters arguably have nature names and I'm afraid of going too themey.
Tl;dr: Any suggestions for similar but less popular girls names?
Lydia Julia Josephine Irene (our one less popular option)
Also love but aren't using for various reasons: Iris Clementine Violet Beatrice Rose Phoebe Margot

Two of my favorite girl names are Bianca and Claudia, neither of which is terribly popular. I don't know if they fit in with the ones you're looking at alternatives for.
