Driving myself nuts over girls names!

So our list for DD2 just keeps changing as I always seem to like a name then go off it. I would just love to find 2, 3, or even 4 names that both DH and I love and then we can decide when we see her. She's due in April and DD1 is Louisa. Ideally we want something that complements Louisa but they don't necessarily have to be the same style if we love the name enough. Our list at the minute is

Isabella (not that popular here so that's not an issue. This is probably the only name that's stayed on the list consistently and yet I'm still not totally sure)

Tessa (probably DHs fave at mo but I'm not totally sure although I do like)

Cara ( a new one that's just come up today and is growing on both of us)

Annie ( this also only came up today, think I like it more than DH but he does like it too. I don't really like any of the longer versions and we can't have Anna so it would be Annie as full name)

Mia ( DH not sold but I can't let it go for some reason)

Any thoughts on these? Or any other suggestions we might like?
Thank you! x

All your name are nice, Mia is my favourite and Tessa is my least favourite. With Annie, how about Antonia with Annie as nn?

Cara means 'face' in Portuguese, so we couldn't have it but I like it other than that. Clara is also lovely. (other 'c' names, Celeste, Clemence?)

Annie, no. That 'Tomorrow' song and everything.

Tessa is nice. I used to walk a dog called Tessa when I was at school, it's a silly name for a dog! Have a cousin called Tessa too and she's gorgeous and stylish and in her 40s, also haven't seen any little ones around lately.

Isabella is lovely, what about things like Ishbel, Imelda, Isolde, Isabel, Isobel? There was a thread on here about Isadora recently too!
