THANK YOU to everyone for the hundreds and hundreds of thoughtful suggestions! My husband gave me a NEW list of names he likes, so I decided to close this thread and move to a new one for new ideas.
Here’s where you need to go for the latest:
Nameberry - Welcome to the Nameberry Forums*
We appreciate all of the great ideas we have gotten so far! You guys are the best!
[name_f]Delia[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_u]Dagny[/name_u] (she’ll get married some day and its a great name!)
Darienne
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]/Wilhemina
Hello, saracita00. After reading your thread the following names came to my mind, with possible nicknames in the brackets:
[name_f]Ottilie[/name_f] ([name_f]Tilly[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lottie[/name_f], [name_u]Ollie[/name_u])
[name_f]Saskia[/name_f] ([name_f]Ki[/name_f], Sassy)
[name_f]Raina[/name_f] ([name_u]Rainy[/name_u], [name_u]Rae[/name_u], Roo)
[name_f]Valeria[/name_f] ([name_f]Lera[/name_f], [name_f]Ria[/name_f])
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] ([name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_u]Ronnie[/name_u], [name_f]Nica[/name_f])
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] ([name_f]Sue[/name_f], [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_f]Susie[/name_f])
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] ([name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Linda[/name_f], [name_u]Allie[/name_u])
[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] ([name_f]Ginny[/name_f], [name_f]Neva[/name_f])
This is just kind of brainstorm so I understand if you don’t like any. 
Good luck,
[name_f]Olympia[/name_f].
[name_m]Just[/name_m] some ideas for ya…
[name_u]Sierra[/name_u]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] (nickname [name_u]Jazz[/name_u] or [name_m]Jazzy[/name_m])
[name_u]Sky[/name_u]
[name_u]Harlem[/name_u] (nickname [name_u]Harley[/name_u])
[name_u]Lyric[/name_u] (nickname possibilities: [name_u]Ricky[/name_u], [name_u]Lee[/name_u], [name_m]Rico[/name_m], [name_f]Ree[/name_f])
[name_f]Noelle[/name_f] (lots of nickname possibilities that you could get creative with: [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_u]Noah[/name_u])
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] – means fine friend
[name_f]Vita[/name_f] – means life
[name_u]Darcey[/name_u]
[name_u]Darbey[/name_u]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Dulcey[/name_f]
[name_u]Dusty[/name_u]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f] is what popped into my head as I read your post.
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] was my first thought. Or a variant like [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] or [name_f]Leona[/name_f]. I’ll keep thinking though.
Wow, challenging!
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f]/[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is one I thought of
Despite his fondness for simple straightforward cute nicknames, you both seem to have a taste for romantic, unusual names.
A few other ideas:
[name_f]Octavia[/name_f]/[name_u]Tavi[/name_u] (ok, I guess that’s a T)
[name_f]Raffaela[/name_f] or [name_f]Raphaela[/name_f]/[name_m]Rafi[/name_m] (too boyish?)
[name_f]Antonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Signy[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f]/[name_m]Natty[/name_m] or [name_u]Tali[/name_u] (another T)
[name_f]Adelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Addie[/name_f] or [name_f]Delia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mercedes[/name_f]/[name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
@adriennel - thanks for the ideas! I like Darienne, I’ve never seen it before. I do like [name_f]Daria[/name_f], but DH vetoed it. This one might stand a chance.
[name_f]Delia[/name_f] - stylistically about right, and it has been on again, off again, but the meaning ultimately takes it out.
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - nononono
[name_u]Dagny[/name_u] - our surname resembles [name_m]Taggart[/name_m]. I feel like it sounds like we were trying to name her exactly after [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] Shrugged.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] - [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t like this one enough to upend [name_f]Willow[/name_f].
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] - too fussy.
I still like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] for you. Maybe [name_f]Ivana[/name_f]/[name_f]Ivanna[/name_f] ? Maybe [name_f]Signe[/name_f] to replace [name_u]Dagny[/name_u]? [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is my favorite from your list, and I don’t think anyone will reference the movie [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. It’s an older movie.
[name_f]Arielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Amara[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] – as opposed to [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]/[name_f]Clio[/name_f]
[name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]
[name_f]Callista[/name_f]
[name_f]Briony[/name_f]
[name_f]Silvie[/name_f]/[name_f]Silvia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] – or [name_f]Leona[/name_f] with [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] as a nickname
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]Claudia[/name_f]
[name_f]Bianca[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f]
Fiana – resuggesting this one, fee-ah-na
[name_f]Adele[/name_f]
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Phaedra[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Violette[/name_f]/[name_f]Violetta[/name_f] – saying it vee-oh-let(a) – does this fix the problem with [name_f]Viola[/name_f]?
Delfia – I redo this one because [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] is also a saint. Does that help?
You’re getting some great suggestions here. I second [name_f]Signy[/name_f], but as I suggested it in the previous round, I’m guessing it’s not your cup of tea.
Ludivine is pretty cute, and it’s beautiful as well. Too French?

Here’s other info for anyone interested:
This is baby #5 for us. The other children are C@spian, Zeph@n, [name_f]Eve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Evie[/name_f], and Per3grine nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m].
No C, E, P, T or Z names.
No ends in S, T, or ER names (and preferably not N but it’s negotiable).
I don’t care for any of the -[name_f]LINE[/name_f] names.
I don’t care for any name with “loo” in it.
DH will reject any name that resembles [name_f]Eileen[/name_f]. Like [name_f]Irene[/name_f]. Forget it. Also, any [name_f]Mar[/name_f]- name is out. [name_m]Both[/name_m] due to unpleasant family connections for him.
We like nicknames.

Needless to say: boys are weird. But as you are in the middle of the naming journey, I guess it’s OK to do a scratch and start with new ones. I did it!
At least your husband likes [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] too; the flowers are beautiful, Great [name_m]Gatsby[/name_m] is a cool reference and though it’s cutesy(not overly), it’s not cheesy or very childish. I know adult Daisies and the name ages just fine but; how do YOU feel about it?
Hmm this is quite a challenge. Wish I had more nature and color name ideas…
[name_f]Azure[/name_f]
[name_f]Cherie[/name_f]
[name_u]Brooke[/name_u]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Etta[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f]
[name_f]Hattie[/name_f]
[name_f]Helene[/name_f]
[name_f]Jade[/name_f] / [name_f]Jada[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorraine[/name_f]
[name_f]Mira[/name_f]
[name_f]Nova[/name_f] / [name_f]Neva[/name_f] / [name_f]Neve[/name_f]
[name_u]Shea[/name_u]
Solstice
[name_f]Valerie[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f]
[name_f]Verena[/name_f]
[name_u]Vida[/name_u]

Since meaning is important to you; Livny means “new life” (life + new).

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you feel about [name_u]Ariel[/name_u] or [name_u]Dana[/name_u]? ([name_u]Day[/name_u]-na)
