3rd child totally stuck for names ...

Hello, I would love some help with coming up with a name for my third child. I'm only 21 weeks so plenty of time yet, but no names left over from previous children (have always found picking names tricky) and don't want to leave it to the last minute .. I already have two girls called Bryony and Freja if that gives you some indication. Surname begins with R so I'd like to avoid any names beginning with R too. Any ideas appreciated!

Anouk
Ursula
Alexis

I like Anouk, but not totally sure on pronunciation. Ideally I would like a name that's simple to say from reading, but having said that a lot of people have problems with my oldest Bryony's name so it's hard to know! I don't particularly want a popular name (despite having a Freja!). Alexis is probably a bit too girly for me, and Ursula is an interesting one but just makes me think of the little mermaid :)

Interesting that you two had similar ideas! I'm Liking Imogen for a girl, but a good friend is called this and is known as Immy. Do all Imogen's have shortened names?? A for a boy, I am just as stumped. I didn't find out what I'm having, maybe i should have to make things a bit easier! I guess ultimately I'd like to avoid a name that can be shortened really .. But that really narrows things down to a small pool of names doesn't it!

Elsa
Una
Olive
Willow

Anya is definitely one I have considered, just a bit concerned it may be a bit samey with Freja? If I called the baby Elsa my two older girls would be in heaven (Frozen obsessed!)
