Girl name suggestions

Jyoung327 · June 2017

I have loads of boy names and am set on my next probably 5 sons if i ever had that many. (NOT likely.) but girls are much harder for me. The names i LOVE some of them are too "trendy" right now and top 100. I like some names that some would consider masculine if not "unisex." I dont like "old" sound namings. I like some culture potentially (ie, Dutch, French, Scottish, English backgrounds).

Names on my list (though none really do it for me)

Lauren Olivia (DHs favorite and the only one he really considers)
Kendall (but despise Kardashian culture)
Charlotte
Annabel (DH on the fence bc of the horror movie that we love "annabelle", also niece is isabella, but I would prefer anna nn over belle or bella in that case)
Leighton (my middle name is Leigh pron Lee, Lee also my mothers middle name, sort of a play on words)
Hadley
Ellis
Rowan (one that is arguably M or F depending on preference, my pref is for girl, I like that its dutch heritage means "little redhead" and the scottish side of my family has red hair)
Harper (apparently too popular)
Hayley (seems to be a young girl name forever)
Ava (love it but cant really use bc its in the extended family)
Brooke/ Brooklynn (love it but also cant use dt family member)
Brynn (love but last name rhymes with drink and it doesnt sound great together)
Quinn (probably MY favorite, whether first or middle, but if first would need longer middle d/t short last name)
Molly
Isla

I also like the middle name of "Kate" ..just kate. or quinn. or Leigh.

What suggestions can anyone make that might fit this "style"? Thanks in advance!!

ETA: my name is probably the most popular name of the 80s and was/am okay with that

Many of those are trendy like you said which would lead to time stamped names like Ashley. What about

Sloane
Arden
Dahlia
Daphne
Heidi
Audra
Kendra
Rosalind
Tara
Bridget
Wynn
Taylor
Paige
Blaire
Elin
Veda

Love Lauren Olivia!

Rowan is a Scottish name. It gained in popularity, over the past 15 years or so, in The Netherlands, but it's not a Dutch name.

How about?
Blythe
Laurel
Gwen
Olive
Juno

A lot of Dutch names have letters/letter combinations that are difficult to pronounce in English (-g, -ij, -ie, -ke, -eu, -je, -tje), don't know if you're open to those:
Alida (Ali)
Femke
Marieke

Names that are popular in NL at the moment:
Tess
Nova
Fleur
Liv

I like Lauren Olivia and do not think it is trendy. Olivia is popular but not as a middle and not in a bad trendy way.

If you prefer something like Quinn in the middle i second PP suggestion of Laurel.
