I don't like any baby names

I am struggling to think of any baby names for a girl...

When I have thought of some names I've gone off them or I like the name but for someone else's baby not mine. For example I like Lucy but don't think its the name of my child if that makes any sense.

I was thinking Anna for a while but have gone off it and my DH thinks it's boring. He also vetoed Alice and perhaps its boring too.

When I was younger I wanted to call my daughter Aurora but am put off it because its associated with Disney now and that was nothing to do with why I liked it.

So any suggestions? Ideally perhaps a name that is Scottish or works well in Scotland but can also be pronounced in other European countries. Something not too out there, but not too common. Not too frilly either.

I have a few weeks to go as baby not due until summer, but at least would like a shortlist of possibilities.

I like all the names you said in your OP so may have similar taste

How about-
Verity
Bryony
Camilla
Tessa

Emma, Hannah, Sarah and Laura are due a revival in my view and I think are a similar vibe to Anna and Alice
