Help! Baby girls name needed

I'm due my 3rd baby in July and we just cannot agree on any names, to the point we've given up for now haha. Our first daughter is named Ella and I loved her name right from the beginning, our second child is a little boy named Logan who didn't have a name for the first 3 weeks of his life! Our 3rd baby is a little girl and we just need some inspiration please! I loved the names Lilah, Elsie, Isla, Rose/Rosie but my other half doesn't like any of them. He likes Phoebe and Ava, I also like Ava but have a friend who's daughter has this name and don't want to cause any upset at all! I also wonder if it sounds a bit too similar to Ella? He also liked Eleanor but I figured that would be shortened to Ellie and then we'd have an Ella and an Ellie which would be a bit of a mouthful haha! Also toyed with the names Charlotte (Lottie) and Isabelle/ Isabella (Although again Ella haha!) My OH also dislikes flower names which is a real shame :( if anyone has any suggestions at all I'd be more than grateful! Thanks :)

We have similar taste OP, I also have an Ella and I adore Logan.

If these were the names I had to go with I would use:

Ella, Logan and Kate
Ella, Logan and Charlotte
Ella, Logan and Ruby
Ella, Logan and Genevieve
Ella, Logan and Grace
Ella, Logan and Rhiannon
Ella, Logan and Frances
Ella, Logan and Caroline
Ella, Logan and Bridget
Ella, Logan and Juliet
Ella, Logan and Clare
Ella, Logan and Phoebe

I would stay away from a name starting with a vowel, ending in an A sound, starting with an L etc.

My first thought was Leanne.

Others may have suggested before but some name ideas:

Mia
Sophie
Alice
Lucy
Evie
Freya

I love/like the names Lilah, Elsie, Isla, Eleanor and Isabelle but they are all far too similar to Ella. As for Ava, I know a sister set of Ella and Ava and I don't think they're too similar but while it's a gorgeous name, I would not choose it due to your friend's daughter being called it.

Rose/Rosie - This is really pretty, shame your DH doesn't like it
Phoebe - I actually really like this, it'd go well with Ella and Logan, and it's my favourite of all the names you've suggested
Charlotte - Ahh this is really pretty, it is a bit long with Ella and Logan but I still love the name. As long as you don't mind having a Logan and a Lottie I don't see too much of an issue.

But my vote is defo for Phoebe.

Merrow · 07/03/2023 23:09

What about Ada if you both like Ava?

Mischance · 07/03/2023 22:47

Jennie is a sweet name.

BritInAus · 07/03/2023 22:46

Isla, Elsie and Lilah are all way too close to Ella. All lovely, but all similar. I wouldn't have more than one in a family.

Marcipex · 07/03/2023 22:32

Daisy.
Lovely and not as over-used as Lily, Lilah, Layla, Lola, Isla, Ayla etc

Also:
Callie
Polly
Rosa
Dahlia

OfMark87 · 07/03/2023 22:24

I know two sisters called Ella & Fern which I think is lovely.

My daughter is Aria which would also work with Ella & Logan

LulooLemon · 07/03/2023 22:13

Yes to Charlotte.

Also, Katrina, Zoe, Alexandra, Tessa, Lucy, Susannah, Mia,

miniaturepixieonacid · 07/03/2023 22:08

I love Charlotte (not so much, Lottie). Definitely don't think you can use Eleanor or Isabelle/a when you already have an Ella.

It sounds like you like popular, pretty/cute, well established names. How about Ella, Logan and:
Alice, Bonnie, Chloe, Daisy, Erin, Freya, Grace, Holly, Ivy, Jasmine, Katie, Lola, Maisie, Nancy, Olivia, Poppy, Ruby, Sophie, Tilly, Willow, Zara

Marisquita · 07/03/2023 20:21

Anya, Kara, Zoe?

azafata2 · 07/03/2023 18:56

What about something slightly different:

Izzy
Skye
Lexi
Felicity
Kacey
Lara
Loren
Madison
Sasha

JussathoB · 07/03/2023 18:50

Ooh Melody is nice!

JussathoB · 07/03/2023 18:50

A lot of the names you like are too similar, apart from Ella Logan and Phoebe, but I’m guessing you don’t like Phoebe otherwise problem would be solved.
Ella Logan and Lucy
Ella Logan and Paula, Penny, Philippa, Patricia
Ella Logan and Nina, Nancy, Natalie
Ella Logan and Emily ( but short forms similar)
Ella Logan and Susannah, Maria, Olivia

JumbledE · 07/03/2023 18:49

I love Charlotte shortened to Lottie.

How about;

Melody
Thea
Lettie
Josie
