My DH and I have 2 daughters, we are now expecting a 3rd child rather unexpectedly and finding names impossible. Alot of the names we love have been used by other relatives or aren't useable. Our girls are -
Emma Felicity Jane Lloyd and Anna Eleanor May Lloyd.
Names we like and can't use are
Lucy (Lucy Lloyd seems a bit much)
Katie (niece)
Sophie (family friends child)
Beth
Alice
Lydia (Lydia Lloyd seems L, Y, D heavy)
We like but don't love Zara and Mary but we could use these (my mum is Mary but would be nice tribute and MILs name is one of the girls middle names already)

Sam (Nephew)
Liam
Daniel
William
Edward
Henry
Lucas
Oscar
Oliver
George
All unusable

We like Harry and James, potentially useable (in the family but not close)

Any ideas? We like more timeless, unlikely to date names and matching them with longer middle names which have good meaning then a family names, ideally the first name is no more than 5 letters, 2 syllables.
Any ideas?

I think
Mary Catherine Faye or Zara Catherine May are perfectly lovely but DH isn't convinced.
James Anthony George is lovely too in my opinion.
