How do I choose? I have a Greta, so that's my natural pick. Most people don't know another Greta so I get lots of comments on it. Most of the comments are positive! But I still get a few "Huh, you don't hear that much!" I don't care, I still love it.
However, if I had to name another girl, she would be Eleanor Jane (Nora) in a heartbeat. But that's a nod to family names including Lynnore, Ellen and Norma. Nora is a great nn!
And I love Bridget, too!
They're all great! Unique, older, they age well, without being weird.

Greta is a nickname for Margaret.
I voted for Bridget.
I've known someone with each of these names so my opinions are affected by personal association!
Eleanor: I've never liked this name because of a personal association but I might feel differently if like you I had a nice cousin who had the name. It feels laborious to me, a little schoolmarmish. I feel like it didn't even do justice to a sexy-ish woman like Eleanor Mondale. I do love Nora all on its own. Feminine and strong enough to stand alone.
Greta: I knew a Greta I liked, who was pretty though she was a big girl and having this German-sounding name kind of accentuated that fact. If you don't expect to be parents to a larger-boned, tall child, I think Greta is endearing and sweet, yet strong in a good way.
Bridget: I like this name. But the two Bridgets I know get nicknamed "Bridge" at times for short, and I hate that. Little harder for a very small child to pronounce at first though that's temporary, of course.
My pick would be Nora. I also like it with Aiden. Good luck!
