I thought I had decided on Kitty or Polly but now I'm not feeling so certain. I feel like I really have considered everything.

Criteria is loosely, two syllables, quirky but not batshit crazy to go with ds Eli. Also I generally don't love biblical girls names but do like biblical boys names (I know I'm awkward)

The boys names I like for this dc are

Ezra
Arlo
Asa
Jude

Please HELP

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Unfortunately or fortunately Grin I don't love anything as much as Kitty. I think I'm letting too many people's opinions cloud my own judgement and personal taste.

I adore all of the names you've listed Ditzy - they were all on my short list for both DC! I think I've replied to one of your threads before? I'm on the iPhone though & have no clue how to check, so apologies for any repeats ...

Anya
Astrid
Blythe
Danika
Esme
Freya
Ginny
Inez
Juno
Lilah
Nico
Oona
Quinn
Seren
Stella
Severine
Tabitha
Violet
Vespertine
Wren

Kitty & Polly are both amazing. Kit is short for Christopher, so there's no reason you couldn't use a longer name (Christine, christienne, christabel, Kristen etc) and use Kitty as a nn if you felt you wanted a longer name but didn't want to go for Katherine.

DitzyDonkey have you tried baby name sites that give meanings, origins and suggestions for siblings and middle names that go well together? This really helped me and DP out even though we finally settled on the name I have always wanted for a DS (after first DS turned out to be a DD lol) When she was born I wanted her to be a Daniel, Michael or a Matthew, obviously none of those were quite suitable. I didn't want to go with anything too similar to those names in consideration of the future and having a Michaela and Michael would have been weird. I will go and look for the site I used, and it suggests opposite gender names based on the ones you already like, so if you wanted to keep your boy name options open for a possible DS2 then they won't clash :)
