Can you give us a little more info to use as a jumping-off point? What are the names your husband loves, the ones with that family connection (since it’s important to you)? It’s hard to give recommendations with little to go on.
With [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] (love), I would initially suggest something traditional first and off the beaten track in the middle, like [name]Lauren[/name] [name]Althea[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Rosemary[/name], or [name]Julia[/name] [name]Roxane[/name].
Sorry. We are down to the first names [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Julia[/name], and [name]Adele[/name]. DH adores [name]Elise[/name] as a middle name, but I’m not as wild about it. [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Grace[/name], and [name]Julia[/name] all have family significance. [name]Clare[/name]/a was also on the table–which would honor my deceased father. DH despises things that are too unusual–I tend to shy away from the Top 10, so we are generally best somewhere in the middle in terms of popularity. We also have a long list of “no’s” as a result of cousins, including [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Emma[/name], [name]Cassandra[/name], [name]Annabelle[/name], [name]Jocelyn[/name]…seriously goes on forever (so frustrating!)
[name]Julia[/name] [name]Adele[/name] is very pretty and unexpected. That would be my choice.
[name]Julia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] is absolutely gorgeous with [name]Sebastian[/name]!
I too vote for [name]Julia[/name] [name]Adele[/name]. [name]Julia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] sounds better but feels much more conventional.
I voted for [name]Julia[/name] [name]Adele[/name]. Although [name]Julia[/name] [name]Grace[/name] flows a bit better, I think doesn’t have the umph that [name]Joseph[/name] [name]Sebastian[/name] has :(.
They’re all gorgeous, but a little too safe for me.
I’m gonna suggest:
[name]Evelyn[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Julia[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]
[name]Adele[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name]
All beautiful, classic, but still exotic!
Good luck!
Thanks for the input! Peapod, I definitely like your suggestions, but my DH needs the conventional. I really do love names that are a little more unexpected, but he’s pretty much nixed all of them with the exception of [name]Adele[/name] (which isn’t terribly unusual in my opinion). I keep wondering if the fact that we haven’t settled on a name isn’t as sign that we just need to meet the little one first. 
[name]Julia[/name] [name]Adele[/name] is my favorite - so pretty, yet so unexpected!
