Girls name..just starting out..two polar opposite sets of criteria

[jaykay987]

Hi (apologies for rather long post - Id appreciate it if you manage to read to the end!)

We're still fairly newly pregnant - so have a very long time to decide. But DH and I are currently sitting at polar opposites of the "names we like" sphere, so would appreciate any ideas anyone has to bridge the gap.

So focussing on girls names.

I love unisex style /surnamey names (I appreciate not to everyone's taste). I also like modern and vintage names. I would prefer to avoid super popular names (though appreciate you can't predict the names of others in school). I grew up with a unisex name, and have only ever met three or four others with the same name.
So my favourites include:
Charlie
Harrie
Eddie
Denver
Ryan
Reyna

DH on the other hand is boring traditional. He had a popular name (top ten for our generation) and wasn't phased that there were many in his year at school. He hates the old people name trend. And all the names he likes (limited in number as he prefers to say no to names than to actually generate new ones!) are the girls we went to school with:
Rebecca
Samantha
Grace
Lindsey
Katherine
Emily (meets my old lady criteria but is top 5)
Amy

So far the types of compromise that might be on the shortest are:
Charlotte (Charlie could be used if its suits her, but I still worry this is a little too girly)
Georgina (I love George - but worry about the prince and whether this will become super popular. We'll have to decide before next ons lists are published so won't be able to gauge impact).
Jamie (possibly)

So does anyone have any great ideas that'll help us both find a name we love?

FYI - Im not of the opinion woman pushes so gets to pick names! Im also aware of the issues some people have with unisex names.

Thanks very much!

I'm looking at our Georgina. who also has dark hair and blue eyes. (to the poster above with the Gina whose name Ive already forgotten!).

she is 10 weeks old - so post prince but was always planned to be Georgina. we call her Georgie at the mo and I love love love it!

we also considered Harriet and Jemima and we also have a Rosie. if that is any help. also love Alexa. totally outed if anyone knows me!

Have you ruled out Samantha then? I think it has a retro 60s feel and I met a lovely little Sammy recently.

Also Antonia would be nice with Toni for short.

Francesca-Frankie?

Charlotte, Georgina and Katherine are my favourites of all the names you have mentioned.

Your husband is probably more unusual in his tastes than you are at the moment! Therefore less likely to have a class full of the same name. I dislike the old people name trend as well.

Georgina is very nice. Georgia used to be a favourite of mine when I was younger. I don't think the Cambridge's choice will make a difference to girls names, although you will probably find more little boys named George.

I know a little Charlotte and I always think it seems classy in amongst the more popular names you come across - the surnamey names, the old folk names, the twee names (Milly, Lilly, Molly etc), the makey-upy names etc

Alexandra is lovely with Alex for short - for me preferable to Alexis or Alexa. Frances is nice too and very unusual at the moment - for some reason I don't regard this as an old lady name even though gone out of circulation a bit.
