I like slightly unusual names if possible.

My fave is Daphne but DH has put his foot down. What names are similar?

I also love lorelei.

Names I kind of like
Daisy (suggested by dh - this is ok)
Candace
Blythe (clashes with out surname)
Claudia

Boys
Jasper
Duncan
Blake (although Blake lively has ruined this for boys a bit imo)
Conrad

Dh has vetoed them all :( daisy is ok but I love Daphne so much. Dc2's sex will remain a surprise

We already have a james (after Ddad) but the names don't need to match at all.

I do not think you can name a child something one parents hates you just need to talk more I quite like Daphne but that's not the point it is not an awful name but it doesn't matter how much you love Daphne if the father hates it rather than thinking it is ok then it is a non starter, DH will probably go for something that he thinks is ok even if he doesn't love it
I had a name I really liked but DH didn't so I just came up with some more ideas her name was his idea originally I thought meh/ok when first suggested but it kind of grew on me then I thought no actually it is quite cool before she was born; now I think it is just her and suits her brilliantly
what names does DH like?
