When it comes to naming children, I have realized that I prefer names that are nouns/words. For the most part, I lean toward plant/flower/nature names, especially for girls.
Some examples of my favorite girl names: [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_u]Dove[/name_u]. I also love (guilty pleasure) [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_u]Bay[/name_u], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].
I tend to like softer names, or names with L’s in them.
As far as non-noun/nature names go, I’m sort of a mixed-bag. I do like some more common names because the names are beautiful, but I don’t think I’d want to use them for a child just because… well… they’re common 
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you know guys have any suggestions for names (noun names or otherwise) that might fit somewhere between these two categories I seem to like? [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is “anti-flower-names” though I think he’s coming around to the name [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], which is my current favorite as far as flower names go.
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] actually seems to bridge the divide (and it isn’t much of a divide) pretty well.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you like any of these?
Wheee, okay. Let’s see. First - I really love [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] in theory but I wouldn’t use it as a name just because my R’s sometimes turn to W’s when I’m not paying attention to how I’m speaking and that could get annoying very quickly. Plus, hubby doesn’t like it.
I’ll separate these out into like, meh, and dislike
Like:
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] (same R problem)
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]

This also reminded me that I do like the name [name_f]Tess[/name_f], also. I had mice named [name_f]Faye[/name_f] and [name_f]Tess[/name_f] so that reminded me :'D
Have you considered using the name [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f]? ‘[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]’ used to be a common nickname.
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Heather[/name_f]
[name_f]Alicia[/name_f]
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]
Has [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] already been suggested? It’s a nice mix between a word name and a classic one.
