Unusual OLD names?


Hi ladies!
I'm on the look out for girls names that are uncommon at the moment but are traditional rather than being made up or very new. We have a very British surname (starts with S, two sillables) so the name can't be too exotic either, although I like names with an eastern european touch (like Anastasia or Magdalena).
I am THE most difficult person to please when it comes to girls names so if one of you finds the one that I actually like and works with our name, I'd be so impressed! Myself I've run out of ideas but here's some I like but can't use for one reason or another:

Alina (love it love it love it)
Lillith
Johanna
Maud
Luisa
Edith

Any ideas?

I like Theodore, but no one else does! Not sure about girls names.

My favourites are Mabel, Elsie and Evangeline (Evie for short).

Hoping to convince hubby to let us use one of them, but not having much luck so far!

My sisters name is Edyth (pronounced the same as Edith) and i think it's a lovely name. She always gets compliments about it. I had an aunt with the same name and everyone called her Edie.

Alina and Maud are lovely too.
