Finding common ground!

[vasya]

My husband and I cannot for the life of us agree on girls' names. Our tastes are so different! Can anyone look at our two lists and think of any suggestions that might suit both our preferences...?

My list

Dorothy
Juliet
Genevieve
Georgiana
Miriam

Husband's list

Rebecca
Anne / Anna
Emily
Sarah
Kate

TIA!

Amelia. Matilda. Harriet. Grace. Lydia. Chloe
Jessica. Sofia. Megan. Rosa. Evelyn. Julia.
Georgia. Alina. Daisy.

Erin. Bethany. Leah. Ivy. Pearl. Lucy

Amelia (mia might suit your husband's list)
Jemima
Teresa (with Tessa as a nickname)
Tamara
Cambria

Annie

Jennifer. Helena. Abigail. Alice.

First thoughts were Helena or Susannah.

Emmeline
Anya
Clara
Tessa

Eleanor
Rosanna
Julianna
Arianna
Katherine
Margaret
Naomi
Charlotte

What about a longer old-fashioned name that you like which can be shortened to a classic name that he likes?

Genevieve -> Jenny
Juliet -> Julie

Love Genevieve btw (my favourite from the whole list).

What about Francesca with a range of nn
Frances/Fran/Frankie/Cesca

Sara as opposed to Sarah
Sian (shaan)

Isabelle nn Izzy/Belle
Leila/Layla
Alicia
Maribel
Merryn

Oh my goodness it is like I could have written this post!!!!

My other half seems to LOVE names that (in his words and I quote...) "names that were popular when I grew up" like:

Sarah
Louise
Rachael
Luke
Tom (don't mind this one though)

Whereas I like names like:

Sophie
Isobel
Georgia
Jack
Henry
Charlie

I've decided I'm not "settling" for a name just for an easy ride. I am going to be stubborn and hope he gives in eventually and let's me pick a name!

Alice or Wendy perhaps

Meredith
Emmeline
Jemma
Anya
Annabel
Kimberley
Jeanie
Grace

Marianne/Mariana
Diana
Laura
Grace

Thank you, some lovely suggestions!

Emmeline
Georgia
Erica
Frances
Theodora

Claudia
Ines
Clarissa
Adelaide
Vivienne
Louisa
Verity

Anastasia nn Anna/Annie
Katherine nn Kate

Or how about Georgiana nn anna

Annabella, Athena, Anais, Aubrey, Brielle, Celeste, Cerys, Cassia, Delilah, Darcy, Esme, Eleanor, Flora, Freya, Hallie, Hannah, Imogen, Isobel, Layla, Marnie, Mila, Nellie, Ottilie, Pandora, Savannah, Thea, Tianna, Vivienne, Willow

Rachel
Elise
Ellen
Susannah
Maria
Joanna

I actually don't find your tastes to be worlds apart! His are plainer/more solid/standard.... but they're all very sophisticated. I think your tastes can merge. Would love to know what you go for.
