Surname starts with O' (DH's family are Irish). I love Emily and am still considering it but would ideally like something less common. Also like Thomas (Tom) but have ruled it out as every baby boy I know seems to be called Thomas!

Other vague possibilities...

Alice
Maeve
Bethan
Lauren

Zachary (Zach)
Joseph (bit boring)
Benjamin (DH not keen)

Any ideas? Or feedback on the possibilities above? thank you!

What about Emmeline for a girl? Can shorten to Emme or Emily if you want...

you've got all three names I used there in your list, so maybe we have similar taste?

Anway these are some of the others I might have used if I'd had any more babies:-
Emma
Eliza(BETH)
Sophie
Edward
Matthew (Matt)
Luke

We always called her Emma-Lily when she was a baby
