DH and I are really struggling to pick a name, I'm due in 2 weeks and we don't even have a mutual shortlist

My shortlist is
Irina (Ih-reen-ah)
Katya
Alma

DH shortlist
Florence
Margot
Beatrice

We have identified Alexandra and Anna is potential middle ground of our styles but neither of us love either.
I think his names are a bit fussy, he thinks mine are too Russian (we aren't Russian).

Can you think of any names we may both like?

Them being Russian is his perception. Wasn't there a singer called Alma from another European country? Look at Greek names? Who were the other characters in Three sisters?

I love Nadia

Danica
Annika (Pippi Longstocking's friend)

Inna (nobody would know it is a Ukrainian name)
Inka
I love Kseniya but in the UK people think of warrior princess.
Marina
Tamara
Veronika
Valentina - are these too long?

Any further ideas based on how your husband has reacted to any of these suggestions and the ones by previous posters?
