"Soft" names to go with Elizabeth

Hello, need some help.

Am expecting DD1, and as a middle name would really love Elizabeth. DH is not keen (but hasn't given me an outright no) He says it is old fashioned. It is also my Mother's name. But assuming I win on that one, we can't agree on the first name. I love Charlotte Elizabeth (our surname is one syllable beginning with F) but DH says Charlotte is too harsh sounding. So need something softer. We both quite like Sophie, but need more suggestions! WDYT?

I wanted Poppy Elizabeth for DD but didn't get it, still think it's a lovely name.

I think Charlotte is a really soft sounding name!! So I might not be any good at suggestions since clearly have different ideas from your OH.

But will have a go anyway how about:

Phoebe (might not go with F surname)
Chloe
Anna
Miranda
Amy

Would all go well with Elizabeth mn

How about Eliza or Charlene as alternatives to both Charlotte and Elizabeth?

I like Leonie Elizabeth.

I think Sophie is the best anyway, why not go for that! Sophie Elizabeth is a gorgeous name.

I always thought Charlotte was one of the softest names out there!

I agree with others - Charlotte is a 'soft' name to me ...and very beautiful.
Obviously people have different ideas of what is soft and what isn't, as quite a few of these suggestions I think are 'hard' sounding names (Lydia, Miranda) where others think they're soft.

I have a Millie Elizabeth, which I love (obviously )

Sophie Elizabeth is lovely too.
