Girly is a subjective expression. So this list is my personal feeling: Aspen, Audrey, Autumn, Brooke, Cadence, Clover, Colleen, Erin, Esme, Fallon, Felicity, Fern, Frances, Gwen, Hazel, Heather, Imogen, June, Juniper, Lark, Maeve, Megan, Olive, Paige, Rhiannon, Tamsin, Winter

Margaret
Zoe
Joanne
Louise
Diane
Paula
Leanne
Maureen
Holly
Nadine
Grace
Lorna
Names from the 50s, 60s, and 70s are often good sources for names like this. Frilly girl names were not really in style then.

Assuming American context here, surname names, eg Collins, Harper, Greer, Kelce etc; occupational names, eg Hunter, Sailor, Fifer or Poet; most German, Dutch and Nordic girl names, eg. Lieselotte, Bente, Elsje, Hester, Alvilde, Svantje, Brynhild, Hildegard, Ehrengard etc.

Just about anything that doesn't end in -elle or -ita.

Some unisex or otherwise ambiguous-sounding names borne by women. I quite like many of these names and think some can still be cute/girly/beautiful in the right context, so don’t take this as a diss. For instance, names like Sigrid and Gunn are considered feminine where I live, but an outsider could easily confuse them with male names like Sigurd and Gunnar.Alex
