Naming Isabel's younger sibling?

I used all my favourites naming my daughter - Isabel Sophia Grace. Now I am stuck for a girl's name if we have a girl. My secret favourite is Margaret (meg for nn) but I dread her being called Maggie and DH has virtually ruled it out. Other front runners are:
Ariane
Ruby
Georgiana (probably would be vetoed by DH)
Harriet, and
Meredith.
Somehow none of them seem as pretty as Isabel, or is it just because I already love her so dearly?
We are OK for boys' names as we still have a name from last time around (although I am nurturing a secret hope that DH might agree to Felix).
Surname is a Mac name so am avoiding anything that sounds either Irish or Scottish.

I know an Isabelle Sofia - gorgeous name! She gas a sister called Esme Alexa which I think works really nicely. Other names I like are

Ava Lily Rose
Rose Elizabeth
Amelia scarlett
Madeliene Elise
Elizabeth Rose
Charlotte Elise

Hope these help

I like Ruby out of your names.

How about Lily, Helena or Lucy?

Juliet, Eleanor, Alexandra, Miranda

I like Meredith. And Alexandra is a good suggestion. Also like Harriet.

What about Miriam?

Please NOT Ruby (waaaaaaay too popular)

Emily
Alice

Of the names you give, I like Georgiana best, and think Harriet is OK.

I'd say you need a fairly traditional name: my choice would be Alexandra. Or perhaps Charlotte, Amelia, Marjorie, Sarah, Caroline, Lucinda, Penelope, Juliet, Jemima, Tabitha, Felicia?
