DH and I are really struggling to pick a name, I'm due in 2 weeks and we don't even have a mutual shortlist

My shortlist is
Irina (Ih-reen-ah)
Katya
Alma

DH shortlist
Florence
Margot
Beatrice

We have identified Alexandra and Anna is potential middle ground of our styles but neither of us love either.
I think his names are a bit fussy, he thinks mine are too Russian (we aren't Russian).

Can you think of any names we may both like?

DH picks are retro popular, yours are Slavic sounding. Maybe some room for compromise in middle ground? eg.

Nina
Anna
Julia
Clara
Lara
Alice or Alicia
Lilia or Lilian
Helena or Elena
Antonia
Louisa

About as English as it gets!

Not sure why but I'm more attracted to non-english names!

Thank you

Bella?

Whatever name you chose, I'm certain it will be befitting for your DD
