character name
i'm writing a female character living sometime in the 1800s (possibly about 1870), in britain... only it's going to be semi-historical fantasy. she's almost upper-class. ish.
i need a realistic name for her. nothing too boring, but nothing completely out-there either.
i like amelia and clara, but i think they sound a bit too cliche. i'm honestly blank on what to call her. i've looked at too many naming websites and everything seems the same.
her parents would like to see themselves as very proper and correct, so probably a first-middle-last kind of name. it'd be nice if her first name was something that could be abbreviated to a more playful or boyish nickname. not samantha, though.

Juliet -> Jules, Julie
You like Clara, maybe it could be short for Clarissa?
I would suggest that for me I'd choose a virtue as a middle name - eg. Katherine Grace, Juliet Temperence, Clarissa Amity, Margaret Harmony, etc.
