And it is up to to pick the girl name if we have a girl, so I need help! I prefer names that at least have history to them and isn't made up... also nothing trendy or too popular. A timeless name is a plus, but I'm open to all suggestions. :) Also avoiding names that starts with A, and that's about it! Thank you for reading :) I'M SO EXCITED!!!

I don't necessarily like all these names, but I would say they fit your rather broad criteria reasonably well. Does depend where you live. But none of these starts with a.BridgetBethanyChristinaBelindaDawnDominiqueErinEllenGinaGloriaHollyHeidiIreneJessicaJulieKathleenKimberlyLauraLuciaMariaMelanieNatashaNinaOpalPamelaPriscillaRoxanneRebeccaStephanieSuzanneTheresaTamaraValerieVanessaWendyWhitneyYvonneYolanda

Well, congrats, but ... this is a really general question ...Nothing trendy or popular (how popular is too popular?)
Has "history to it"
Isn't made up
"timeless"
Doesn't start with AWell... names I like, that I think meet these criteria, are:
Julia
Claudia
Eudora
Gillian
Edith
Jane
Jean
Joanna
Lydia
Livia
Mara
Callista
Virginia
Vivien, Iris (could be trendy, but aren't very popular, and do have lots of history)
Isidora
Sabrina
Marjorie
Nicola
Gwendolen
Millicent
Marion
Madeline
Carolina
Georgia
