Please help I'm totally stuck on names

Due DC2 soonish and it's a girl. Already have a 3 year old boy.

COMPLETELY stuck on girl's names, I feel like there are none I like.

I don't like:

Old fashioned old lady type names (Martha, Edith, Dorothy, Iris etc)

"Classic" traditional names (Alice, Catherine, Helen etc)

"Flowery" names (Daisy, Lily, Maisie etc)

Nor do I like many of your standard white middle class child names (not slamming anyone btw because I fall firmly into that category myself, but I don't know how else to describe that category), which round here are Olivia, Florence, Ottilie, Delilah, Isabella

I like Luna and quite like Ruby but my DH hates them both. I also like girls' names that sound like boys' names (Billie, Bobbie, Georgie etc), mainly because I have a name like that myself and I love it, but DH won't hear of that either.

Please help! I feel like I don't like any bloody girls' names!!!

My son's name is Max. Not Maximillian etc, just Max.

I like Ruby but there’s a kids show called Max and Ruby!

If we have a girl in the future, I would like to use Liberty (which can be shortened to Libby or Bertie)

If you like Zoe what about Zara?

Lara
Maya (with the MY-uh pronunciation)
Robyn/Robin, as mentioned by PPs
Esme (with the EZ-may pronunciation)

Agree that Thea, Cora, Erin might fit the bill. Also Annie, Miriam (mimi?)

Wild card style: Evanthe, Athene, Xanthe etc

Some fab ones here thanks so much

I love Robyn. Also really like Xanthe and Lyra.

I have a 2 year old Amber? Not sure if that fits your criteria but it really suits her.

Your DH probably won’t like this if he doesn’t like Luna but how about Nova?

Zara also sprang to mind - I love love love it. On my list.
