Becoming a bit obsessed with this but after my suggestion of Marley didn’t go down too well, and my next possible contender - Talitha- had mixed reviews (and ended up being scrapped due to the pronunciation issue..)
My DH threw a name in the mix earlier that seems to tick both our boxes.
Emmeline.
He likes classic names. I like something a little different- I don’t know any little Emmelines. And I love the nickname Emmy.
I call Louisa Lulu, Hannah has an unrelated nickname to her name.

So… does it past the mumsnet test? Do you know any Emmelines? I can see it might get confused with Emily?
I do like the name Emily as well but maybe too popular?

Hannah, Louisa, Emmeline
Hannah. Louisa, Theodore

Just need a baby now…..

I know a couple of Emmelines. It was popular in the mid-90s. It’s OK as a name, but a bit frilly compared to your other DC names.

I love Emmeline, it's so pretty! Emmie for nickname.

I’m an Emmeline! Didn’t know any others growing up, have only met one other. I was never teased for my name and everyone my mother introduced me to said it was lovely.
I tend to go by Emmy for short. :)

Emily is much better & matches your DDs' names really well.

I have been called Emmeline as a nn for years on & off. It annoys the hell out of me as a nickname - I really wouldn't want to carry it around full time!

Emmy/Emmie/Emme is also pretty popular here, if you wanted something less common.

Have you considered Eliza? You could use Ellie/Lizzie etc day to day & it goes really well with your other names.
