Girls names help!

Expecting DD in a couple of months and really struggling with a girls name we both like. Typically, we had a boys names picked out but girls have us stumped!

I prefer short names, 4 or 5 letters, and nothing too girly or flowery, names that have been veto’d by DH are Robyn, Rhea, Cora.

DH has no preference in length or style at all really, although he said that the above names are pompous!? He tends to lean more towards ‘normal’ names as he would call them - think Millie, Chloe etc.

We’re at a bit of a stalemate so any suggestions would be great! I feel like I’ve looked at that many baby name sites that I’ve seen them all!

Strange thst your H favours girl names that would also work for a golden retriever, but the boy names have considerable gravitas.
