DH is the hard one to make happy tbh

His suggestions are
Holly - But DSD was going to be called this, in fact, WAS called this during pregnancy, so it doesnt sit right with me
India - No from me
Naomi - Which unfortunately is taken by a close family friend
Lucy - I dont mind, but i dont like it enough

Hes agreed with
Eliana
Natasha which was shortlisted for a long time but then no
Alyssa
and Georgia

Eliana or Alyssa are the only ones that i like enough to actually use but he says hes not sure about either

I like names that have a few pretty shortenings, which is why i sort of discount Georgia and Natasha im not fond of either of there NNs

Ariana/Arianne Or Megan would be the names i LOVE but the dog is Megan, and DH says a definate no to Ariana and Arianne

Arrrgh, any help is appreciated thank you!

Has DH come up with any useful suggestions of other names? It's not fair of him to say the list has to be longer than Eliana (which you both like) and then just veto everything else you suggest if he's not willing to make suggestions too.
Also if he has they might help us come up with some more that he won't veto.

Thanks cordelia! I haven't seen Amelie used, but have heard of an A-mel-ee ... I am blaming baby brain for not working that out on my own lol!

Thank you Hashtag, Names arent really to my taste other than imogen, which i dont love enough to use

OP, the Amelie I know is pronounced A mel ee (nn Milly).
I did mean to say in my first post that Eliana is lovely. Thanks
