Help for Baby Girl name

Hi, new to the platform and wanted some advice from the best!

Me and my wife are expecting twins in August (one boy one girl) but we cannot decide on a name for our girl. We would love to name the boy Callum but cannot decide on a name for the girl.

My wife likes more traditional names (eg. think Chloe or Zoe) whereas I would like one a little less common (think Olive or Amara). Any ideas for names which are a compromise and sound good with Callum?

Callum is a fairly traditional name, so I think you should pick a name that is less modern than the sort of name you like. Amara in particular is a different style of name altogether than Callum.

You need a traditional name to go with Callum. Something like Amy, Emily, Charlotte.

the most popular one from your 4 stated is Olive now though.

Callum and Orla?
I have a Hollie so naturally I have to add in Callum and Hollie 🤣
I also like Callum and Mia!

I knew siblings Callum and Imogen, which sound nice together. I'm thinking a traditional name that sound modern, so maybe also:
Callum and Isobel
Callum and Phoebe
Callum and Elsie
Callum and Iona
Callum and Daisy
Callum and Esme
Callum and Eliza

If you don’t mind the alliteration, Callum and Catriona or Katrina?

Callum and Mhairi?

Callum and Helen?
