Help me find an uncommon but not weird name!

DH has vetoed nearly all of my suggestions, eg:

Cara
Fern
Flora
Clara
Serena
Annabel
Clover

We like, but can't have as friends do, Alice and Amelie. At the moment the compromise name is Emily, which we both like but I would rather have something a bit less popular.

Please help me because DH can't think of any but just keeps vetoing all mine!!

Gwen I've suggested that to him but no!!

Knowing my DH I think he'd actually like some if he entertained the idea for longer than a split second!!

Could you get around it by using names that usually ends in e and add a instead so names like

Louise/Louisa
Christine/ Christina
Alice/ Alicia
Amelie/ Amelia (though that is popular too)

that way you might get a happy middle route.

How's about Bromily, similar to Emily but definitely less common, possibly because we may have made it up!
