Is Daphne a bit too old-fashioned/unattractive?

I have the perfect girl's name for DC2 (we already have a DD) but DH really doesn't like it...I am working on him but won't force him to agree to a name he hates so am trying to come up with some others. I want something that ends in an "ie" syllable (will work with our surname, won't be too similar to DD's name) and wondered if Daphne would be an option? I don't think I like it very much though so wondered if you lot could persuade me?

And what about other names ending in an "ie" syllable? I have a few possibles but am open to suggestions!

(I came across Gorgophone - presumably pronounced "Gor-GO-phony" - on a baby names website: that one is definitely not an option Grin)

If you are tempted by Khaleesi how about Margaery?

Daphne is lovely. I like Delphine and/nn Delphi which are (sort of) similar...

What about Darcy / Darcey ?
