Our baby girl is due in 8 weeks and I'm still not sure on names. Our current favourites are Phoebe and Amelie but I'm not 100% happy with them at the moment. I think they might be a little too cutesy.
If I give you some names that I really like but can;t use maybe someone can give me some inspiration of similar sorts of names that might work:

Erin (doesn't go with surname)
Bryony (can;t have B names with surname as it begins with O!)
Sorrel - OH doesn;t like
Romilly- OH doesn't like

Thank you

We have an O surname and it does rule out the -a names in my mind too and that is hard as there are so many -a names.

I like Lauren, Laurel, I love Cora but the -a thing is tricky. Margot is nice too. I like Sinead and Siobhan.

Hope you find something you both like.

I used Phoebe this month for the same reason-fits current 'style' without being too girly, eg mil's choice of Daisy! would suit a tomboy & surly teenager as much as the cute munchkin here.

Others on list were:

Sadie
Charlotte
Imogen
Harriet
