Here is a small cross-section of names we keep coming back to:
Hubby’s list:
[name]Jordan[/name]
[name]Lilly[/name]
[name]Lindsay[/name]
[name]Sydney[/name]
[name]Ella[/name]
[name]Gabriella[/name]

[name]Analeigh[/name]

[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
I am open to any suggestions
Thanks to all whom respond 
It sounds like you’ll both have to compromise. Here are same names I like that aren’t too different, but aren’t boring either.
[name]Jacqueline[/name]
[name]Elle[/name]
[name]Leila[/name]
[name]Audrey[/name]
[name]Regan[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Belle[/name]
[name]Lilac[/name]
[name]Mallory[/name]
[name]Delia[/name]
[name]Brynn[/name]
[name]Emery[/name]
[name]Lena[/name]
[name]Marielle[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
Justthinkin’, love [name]Jacqueline[/name]. It’s straightforward but also feminine.
So, your husband prefers more popular names (some of which are dated), while you prefer what I think are less common and fresher sounding names. (For what it’s worth, I prefer your list!) 
I’ll list similar names for each name, and maybe you’ll find something you both like.

Wow! You all are a great help, thanks for all the suggestions. Hubby and I are going to sit down and try to figure this out…hopefully BEFORE our lil angel decides to join the conversation…I’m due the first week of Nov. and already dialated to a 2…this is my 3rd child in 3 years…so the name game is something we’ve been through all too often.
Names that he already said no to : (
[name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Laurel[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Ellen[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name] or any [name]Amy[/name]-ish name (ex-girlfreind)
[name]Kelsey[/name]- same as above
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Chloe[/name]- family dog
[name]Abagail[/name]- baby”s 1st cousin
[name]Audrey[/name]- my daughter”s name is [name]Aubrey[/name]
[name]Brooklynn[/name]- he hates place name (but likes [name]Sydney[/name] & [name]Jordan[/name], don”t know why)
Thanks again!
I’ll keep ya posted as we come to a decision.
Be sure to write the name out - in cursive and regular - say it in order with your other kids names - and yell it out loud rapidly in succession - this helped me veto names I thought I loved - they just didn’t pass the “test”
I don’t really have any more suggestions to add, except one: The first name that popped in to my mind when I read your two lists was this: [name]Sinclair[/name]
I think it would be fantastic alongside your daughter [name]Aubrey[/name]… [name]Aubrey[/name] and [name]Sinclair[/name], both surnames, both unisex but with a more distinct feminine sound… ^^ I really like it!
It’s also both simple/familiar/modern (your hubby’s style) and vintage/complex (your style) at the same time, so it might be something you both like, which would be wonderful
Also, I think you should ask your hubby to reconsider [name]Jemma[/name], which is the name from your list that would be the best fit on his, and you should reconsider [name]Gabriella[/name], which is the name from his list that would feel most at home on yours, IMHO… [name]Just[/name] mull it over for a day, write it, google it, say it, make combos with it and perhaps if you see it enough times you’ll feel different about it! I’ve had that happen to me tons of times! [name]Just[/name] seeing a name in different contexts can give it a whole new meaning to you… I’ve had it happen with [name]Beatrix[/name], [name]Blythe[/name], [name]Annora[/name], [name]Opal[/name], [name]Olympia[/name], [name]Araminta[/name], [name]Dashiell[/name], [name]Inigo[/name] the list goes on! I was most surprised when I suddenly liked [name]Blythe[/name]… I could hardly believe it! Now, I’m struggling to find her suitable middles, and it’s really hard because she’s only one syllable, and I always find myself putting her in the middle, when I love her so much I really want her up front… It tears me apart!!
All I’m saying, is that if you invest time in getting to know a name and be more familiar with it, your feelings toward it might change, so I think you and your husband should get more acquainted with the names on each other’s lists to see if maybe you can find common ground ^^
Finally, I wish you the best of luck on agreeing on something!! I hope you find a beautiful name that you both love!
[name]Anneliese[/name] nn [name]Ella[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name] or [name]Lilias[/name] nn [name]Lila[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name] ([name]Rue[/name])
[name]Viola[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Violette[/name], [name]Violeta[/name], etc.
[name]Arabelle[/name]
[name]Lennox[/name]
I love [name]Gemma[/name]! Maybe switch to [name]Jemma[/name] and see if he’ll go with [name]Jemima[/name]?
[name]Charlotte[/name]/[name]Carlotta[/name] nn [name]Lottie[/name] in place of [name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Leilani[/name]
Hopefully some of these will help!
[name]Ouch[/name]. That is a toughie.
I would suggest combining name styles. You like [name]Analeigh[/name], your husband likes [name]Ella[/name], so consider the names [name]Annabella[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name] or [name]Arabella[/name]. My personal choice would be [name]Arabella[/name], as it embodies the trendy “ella” ending that your hubby seems to like with the more classy/sophisticated/fun feel that you like. Another way you could do this is with the name [name]Adelle[/name]–it’s sophisticated but has tons of cute nicknames like [name]Della[/name] and [name]Addie[/name].
Another mix of names is [name]Liliana[/name]/[name]Lilliana[/name], combining your hubby’s pick of [name]Lilly[/name] with yours of [name]Analeigh[/name] (which I personally [name]LOVE[/name]).
One name that you and your hubby might like is [name]Emma[/name]–it’s not as unusual as [name]Gemma[/name] and is pretty trendy.
I hope you guys can find a name that you both love!
I can offer sympathy. DH and I are having similar problems. Such a bummer.
[name]How[/name] about [name]Ayla[/name]?
