Name ideas

So, we do have a name picked out for our baby (girl) but it's more of a default name. We're not set on it, and nothing else has screamed out to us. When we picked our first daughter's name it was set in stone, as soon as we came across it on our list we knew that that was the name, nothing else would compare. So this time around, we're really lost. It seems we've both been thinking the same thing, but haven't said anything until just now. My husband wants me to look for another name, and I will search myself, but I have already gone through hundreds of names and nothing has stood out, and the only two that I really like myself (Ava and Leila) he really doesn't like, so they are out of the question.

If it helps any, she will be joining Elijah and Amelia.

Obviously I have a thing for the -ah ending sound, it's not on purpose, but especially for girls, I like a really pretty feminine sounding name.

Edit:
I'll also add that we have a long German last name- starting sound 'Gray' and ending sound 'eel'

I really like all the names you mentioned! :)

Other 'ah' names:
Alexa
India/Indianna (Indi/Indy)
Olivia
Alicia
Isabella
Sophia
Danica (Dan-ee-ka)
Jessica
Felicia
Calissa/Calinda
Georgia/Georgina
Kara/Cara
Matilda
Hannah
Athena/Anthea/Althea

I actually think Zoe(y) or Lily would go nicely with your other kids names.

Congrats and good luck!

I have a thing for names that end in the en/on/ian sound.

Clara is what came to my mind.

I don't know if you heard the Kanye West song 'Stronger', but in the song he mentions the name and it sounds a bit like the words 'apple own ya' if you were to say it fast.

Corrina
Elaine
Lorraine
Iris
Anya
Irina
Eleanor
Evangeline
Fiona
Dahlia
Tessa
Gwendolyn
Sabrina
Serafina
Farrah
Freya
Laurel


I tried to include a few names that have 'l', 'ee', and 'i' sounds. That way you still have the same sounds without being too matchy with having the same ending on all three names. Personally, I like Gwendolyn the best with the other two names that you have but that's just me.
