Name inspiration

I'm expecting DC2 in May and don't know if we're having a boy or girl. DH and I generally don't agree on names (although we do like the same style at least!) so we're not discussing it until baby arrives but I'm struggling for inspiration at all.

My absolute favourite boys name is Arthur but DH has vetoed it (just as I've vetoed Holly for a girl). I like quite traditional boys names but don't like boys names to be shortened so I know I have to like the common nicknames too (e.g. I love Christopher but not Chris). Having said that I do have a soft spot for Toby.

Our DD is an Emily so although I don't want names to "match", I don't want another E girls name and I want a similar style name. The only ones I can think of are Sophie/Sophia and Charlotte but I don't love either of them. I think it's the popularity of Emily that's making me think of these 2 popular names.

So wise ladies of MN, any name inspiration for me?!
