Surname starts with O' (DH's family are Irish). I love Emily and am still considering it but would ideally like something less common. Also like Thomas (Tom) but have ruled it out as every baby boy I know seems to be called Thomas!

Other vague possibilities...

Alice
Maeve
Bethan
Lauren

Zachary (Zach)
Joseph (bit boring)
Benjamin (DH not keen)

Any ideas? Or feedback on the possibilities above? thank you!

I like Lucy although don't love it....

Luxmum - I don't want a very very Irish name as DH was born in England and I'm English so it might seem a bit OTT / pretentious in a way? I wonder if even Maeve might be a bit "too" Irish, but some of the ones you mentioned I wouldn't even know how to pronounce!!
