Girl’s names dilemma

We’re expecting a baby girl any day now and can’t decide on a name. I’m getting a bit stressed about it as we really struggled to decide on a name for our DS when he was born. We had a shortlist but none of them felt right when he was born and he ended up nameless for several days before being called something else entirely (Isaac). I don’t want to go through that stress again if possible! What’s everyone’s opinions of the following names (or other possible suggestions):

Phoebe
Hazel
Daisy
Autumn
Mia
Emilia

At the moment we’re leaning towards Phoebe or Hazel. Earlier in the pregnancy I was really set on either Emilia or Mia, but I’ve been put off by how “popular” they appear to be when looking online (although I have never met any in real life!)

Thanks everyone :)

I love Isaac & Hazel together 😊

I had 2 people at my school with that name isaac attacked people all the time and snotted everywhere, and hazel was a bitchy gross girl who was nasty to everyone.

Phoebe - it's OK.
Hazel - love
Daisy - ok
Autumn - love
Mia - very popular
Emilia - beyond popular I don't even understand how people are STILL naming babies this. There are 80 people in our office, around 55 women. In the last 18 months the baby girls born in the office have been Amelia, Emelia, Amelia and Amelie. I also have 2 friends who have had baby girls in the last year and called them Amelia and Emelia. They're like a plague of vowls

I love Autumn it's so pretty and more unusual than your other choices, goes lovely with Isaac too, not keen on any of your other choices, Hazel at a push
