Having Trouble... Only Like Common Girl Names!

Hi all, Newbie here

As the title suggests we are having trouble with naming our soon to arrive, (October) daughter.

I know it shouldn't really matter if a name is popular or not but all I can think about is playgroups, nursery and schools where there are several little ___'s running around.

Silly I know! Maybe its just because our little boy, (13months) has a less popular first name- Lennon James. We like Ava and Amelia as first names and May and Rose for middle names. I also like Edie as a first but OH insists this is "too granny"

Trying to think of other names that would be nice with Lennon... but the amount of times I have had the suggestions McCartney, Dylan and Hendrix is just silly!

Also avoiding L's as we are both L's!

Why is this so hard!!!!?????
Thanks people x

Thanks guys
I think I am just worrying what other people think all the time, as you do! Also when you live in the baby-naming land for those pregnancy months thats all you think about sometimes dont you? When I mention those names to friends and family they say they have never heard of any babies called that so stop worrying girl!
Thanks for the name suggestions nobodysfool. Evie was mentioned by a friend too and Elise by my Mum I also like Edie but he thinks its too granny!

Personally I think you should just go with the names that you love All the names you've listed are beautiful. I only know 1 Ava, 1 Amelia and 1 Rose and I don't know any Mays (other than the hyphenated Elsie-May type names)
