Longer harsh baby names

[StamppotAndGravy]

We're stuck for inspiration. Please help!

I like quite harsh sounding baby names but DH so far isn't keen e.g.
Siân (my favourite, but rejected as common)
Margaret (boring)
Jana (our best friend)
Dana (a former colleague)

The only name he really likes so far is Juliette, but to me it's dated and fussy, plus I find Jools and July are awful. I'm going to propose Jacqueline and Annette as alternatives, but was hoping for some more ideas.

Extra complexity, we live abroad in a Germanic country. J names are pronounced with a Y or the French way, never the British way. Gs are risky pronounciation-wise. Es are pronounced A, and As are long and flat (e.g. Jana is Yaanaa, Eline is Aeleena). Most of the top hundred baby names are max 5 letters so anything fussy like Felicity will scream immigrant kid!

Thanks so much!

Enid? Irene? Astrid? Ann?

Haha, he promised before we began that of course he'd provide a suggestion for every veto. Does he hell?!

I wasn't sure if Jana would be familiar to UK readers. It's effectively the German equivalent of Jane, and Jane-a seems a reasonable name, especially since Dana is normally Dane-a

Thanks everyone! Tristan, Quentin Dominic, Owen and Edwin are now on my boys list, and lots of new ones on the girls. Are girls names always easier?

It amuses me that both mine and my sister's names have come up multiple times. Transformation into my mother is 100% complete!

I agree. Harsh isn't the right word for the names you like

Daria?

In my mind Juliette was born late 70s early 80s, but Margaret and Annette are already over 70 so vintage rather than dated ;)

Irene is long, but Ann isn't. Neither are 'harsh'-sounding.
Juliette says 1950s to me.
Juliet is pretty but Juliette makes me think of serviette.

A nice name that translates well into German in Evelyn.

Margaret is an awful name, no need for a revival

I like it. Love some of the diminutives - Rita, Greta, Maggie etc.

Daphne

I know a little German boy in the uk called Wolfie. Short for Wolfgang I guess.

Favourite German girls' name I remember from my time there was Janina (pronounced Sha-nee-na)

In the end we're having a boy, so that made life a lot easier! We're probably going to go with Cenric, because it will travel easily without being a really common bible name, although there are still a few weeks to go so I might change my mind. I'm sure some people will hate it, just like Margaret ;)

Is Cenric a name?
