I’m wanting to expand my list and hopefully add some names that my DH and I can agree on!
Here’s what I’m looking for:
- Not in the top 100 (although I have a few exceptions on my list - like [name]Caroline[/name]) The more obscure the name is - the better.
- Doesn’t start with a B because our current son’s name is [name]Boston[/name] (and we don’t want another city name either).
- Easy to pronounce.
- Doesn’t end in -er (because of our last name).
I prefer very feminine names ([name]Caroline[/name], [name]Lorelei[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Lena[/name], [name]Isla[/name]) and my DH prefers unisex names ([name]Ainsley[/name], [name]Avery[/name], [name]Kinley[/name], [name]Peyton[/name], [name]Harper[/name]). The only name on our list that fits into those 4 requirements (that DH hasn’t nixed) is [name]Gia[/name] and we definitely need more to choose from!
Please and thank you for all of your help!
Most of these are probably more your style than your husband’s…

[name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Beatrix[/name]
[name]Xanthe[/name]
[name]Dahlia[/name]
[name]Gisele[/name]
[name]Livia[/name]
Names I think go particularly well with [name]Boston[/name]:
Something not too long, and in my opinion something classic, if a bit different!
I think [name]Della[/name] from the last post is a great idea, or else something like [name]Ramona[/name], [name]Thalia[/name], [name]Remy[/name] or [name]Leda[/name]?
Strong, classic but still feminine!
[name]Hope[/name] you like any of these?
Let me know which suit your taste and I can drum up some more!

Thanks! I like a lot of your suggestions, but many of them were ruled our for one reason or another:
[name]Marina[/name] - I like this… I’ve never heard it before as a girl’s name
[name]Seren[/name] - This was on my list, but for some reason - DH doesn’t like it.
[name]Sadie[/name] - I used to really like this name until someone told me it reminded them of a dog. I could completely see that association and now it’s off my list 
[name]Scout[/name] - DH hates this. I like it.
[name]Sailor[/name] - Ends in -er so it doesn’t work with our last name, but we both really like it!
[name]Ivy[/name] - DH says “poison ivy”
[name]Olive[/name] - I like, DH doesn’t
[name]Hazel[/name] - Cousin had a daughter with this name
[name]Maisie[/name] - This is very cute - but sounds nick-namey to me…
[name]Dahlia[/name] - My brother’s daughter’s name.
[name]Rowan[/name] - I like this one too.
[name]Stella[/name] - DH ruled it out.
[name]Cora[/name] - This is pretty!
[name]Mirabel[/name] - I really like this one too!
[name]Alana[/name] - Nice!
[name]Calista[/name] - Cousin’s name, but it would be on my list if it wasn’t!
[name]Linnea[/name] - I like this one too!
[name]Juliet[/name] - This has ALWAYS been a favorite of mine. I love literary names. DH doesn’t like this one (or my other [name]Shakespeare[/name] choice- [name]Rosalind[/name]).
[name]Thalia[/name] - This is on my list, but with the [name]Talia[/name] spelling. I really like it!
[name]Remy[/name] - I like this too, but it also sounds like a nn and not a full name.
Well, I haven’t looked through the other posters suggestions so I’m not sure which have been brought up but the name that first sprang to mind was [name]Romilly[/name]. I think it fits all the criteria and is unisex (ish) enough for your husband and feminine enough for you at the same time 
Possible nns are [name]Romy[/name] or [name]Milly[/name]. Some other suggestions…

[name]Hope[/name] some of these pope out at you
Hello!
[name]Lovely[/name] to hear that you liked some of the names.
With the ‘nicknamey’ names (can totally relate to your point!)
Here are some names which could use [name]Remy[/name] or [name]Maisie[/name] as a nickname perhaps:
[name]Remy[/name]
[name]Romilly[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Maisie[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Magdelane[/name]
Otherwise how about:
[name]Claudia[/name]
[name]Adeline[/name]
[name]Midori[/name]
[name]Erin[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Ida[/name]
[name]India[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Delilah[/name] (Bit like [name]Dahlia[/name], but different enough to use maybe)
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Coraline[/name] (kind of a mix between [name]Mirabel[/name] and [name]Calista[/name] I thought. Haha)
[name]Nina[/name]
[name]Niamh[/name] or [name]Neve[/name], to use an easier spelling!
[name]Fabia[/name]
[name]Elodie[/name]
[name]Sabra[/name]
[name]Luella[/name]
[name]Mariah[/name]
[name]Estella[/name]
[name]Sistine[/name]
[name]Zara[/name]
Or if your husband likes more androgynous names, these seem a good compromise:
[name]Delaney[/name]
[name]Bellatrix[/name]
[name]Sloane[/name]
[name]Bellamy[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
Classy, not too girlie but still feminine!
