Can't agree with DH on final picks, only 3 weeks to go!

As the title says.....

We each have our own final choice for a boy or girl,but they don't match unfortunately, so I thought I'd put it to the jury.

Mine are Finn or Matilda, his are Isaac and Alice.

We don't hate each others choices, but we have a problem with each. He doesn't like that you can't shorten Finn, likes Fintan with nn Finn, but I don't like that much. He thinks Matilda is "too English" (we are not in the UK).

I like Isaac, but I don't like Zac, and I know his whole family would use Zac. I love Alice, but its very like DH's name and think she would be called Al or Alli, which is his nickname already.

So any thoughts, or suggestions for alternatives that may suit? We already have a Jacob and a Jonah, and surname starts with an O, so can't have anything like Leo that ends in a vowel.

TIA!

Don´t like Finn.

Love Isaac, Matilda & Alice.

Why must they all have a shortening?

If you love the name-use it!!

I prefer Isaac & Alice and have not ever heard of Zac or Ali being used as shortenings for those names - good luck!
