Having Trouble... Only Like Common Girl Names!

Hi all, Newbie here

As the title suggests we are having trouble with naming our soon to arrive, (October) daughter.

I know it shouldn't really matter if a name is popular or not but all I can think about is playgroups, nursery and schools where there are several little ___'s running around.

Silly I know! Maybe its just because our little boy, (13months) has a less popular first name- Lennon James. We like Ava and Amelia as first names and May and Rose for middle names. I also like Edie as a first but OH insists this is "too granny"

Trying to think of other names that would be nice with Lennon... but the amount of times I have had the suggestions McCartney, Dylan and Hendrix is just silly!

Also avoiding L's as we are both L's!

Why is this so hard!!!!?????
Thanks people x

Popular names are usually popular because they are nice, y'know.

So if you like Ava and Amelia, then pick them!

I know a number of Amelias aged 5-7 - but there may not be may tiny ones anyway, if it really bothers you

Edith is nice, so is Elise,. How about Mabel, Florence, Rosa?

If you like them then use them. They are rather nice names. I don't like Edie though.
