Dh and I can’t find any girls name (half German)

It’s an absolute nightmare, I love the name Elodie and always have done but dh hates it. He wants something that reflects his German heritage but can’t give me any names apart from his grandmothers name, we do also have a very German surname which I’m conscious of. I’ve said I’m happy for this as a middle name however I don’t like the name myself. We’ve already decided on Finn for a boy, which we both love.
TIA

Christine / Christina are also German but not very obvious German.

However I do agree that you might want a less German sounding name as she already has a German surname.

You both have to like the name
