Have gone off name...

Dd2 is due around Christmas time and all through pregnancy we were decided on the name... Leah.
I really loved it but have gone off it in a big way.
Leah, sounds like 'leer' I think of something a pervy old man would do.
Sounds too much like Mia, which is too popular for my liking.
Bible tells of Leah, down trodden and weary sister of the more beautiful Rachel...Quite sad really.
Looks like 'Yeah'..

So, I have got a problem.

I don't like any of the top 10 names, nothing too frilly or flowery, none of the old names making a come back... Help!!!!!!
Names that we considered bt don't love are,
Zoe
Megan
Lucy

Any suggestions would be really welcome,
Thanks.

I like Lara too, but it rhymes with my name.
We have actually given Nina as a nn to bump ( I didn't like using 'it' or 'the baby')and I love it!! Dh uses it at the moment but has said that it's just a fun name for now, definately won't be her name.
However, I have a feeling that it might stick for a while once she's born!!
I don't want to start using real name until Dd2 is actually here! (which is just as well, as we haven't got a name atm!)
