Occasional poster NEED help w/girls name

Ok all I've posted here from time to time with polls & such, but DH is driving me nuts & I'm looking for help!!!!! We are expecting our 3rd child in the fall & have chosen Noah for a boys name. However, we CANNOT seem to even come close to agreeing on a girl's name. This doesn't surprise me as when I was PG with my DD we fought about her name forever as well lol....Anyway I thought I would come & see if you all have any thoughts....our DS is Michael David & DD is Jillian Paige....I tend to lean towards classic but slightly underused names like Teresa, Caroline (yes, I know that one is getting popular) Clara etc...he leans more towards the unusual names & for some reason Greek names (and no we are not Greek) like Artemis, Calliope, Mercedes, Arwen, you get the idea....the only ones we even came close to agreeing on were Savannah & Natasha & I don't love them but I would be ok with it. I like Natalie but he hates it...see the problem? So close yet so far lol. We have a few family names to work with but we're not sure about them: Georgia (or some variation of it), Patricia, Ruby, Montana, Brigette (he doesn't like that one) Delia, Roberta...

Our last name is Lettie which can make naming tricky because a lot of names just mush together with our last name....

Ok, that's the story...any suggestions? I want something that will sort of "go" with our other kids names & not sound bizzarre but I don't want there to be a million of them in her class growing up either...ugh...anything you all have to offer would be helpful!!!! Thanks SO MUCH in advance!!!!

Here are some girl names...

Georgina and Patricia really popped out at me - both fit in nicely with Michael and Jillian and if they ever want to use nn's you've got Gina and Trish to avoid things like 'Georgie Lettie' or 'Patty Lettie' just like the options of Mike and Jill work that way also.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts! I see a ton of names I like here, now I just have to convince my husband he likes them too lol...I think my best bet will to be to push for the family names as I know he likes most of those, I just wasn't too sure about them...I am loving the name Lydia right now (can't remember who suggested it) but Lydia Lettie might be a bit much I think...

Anyway thank you again for all of your thoughts! Keep them coming if you think of anything else!!!!

I like Natasha a lot. it goes better with Jillian than your older-fashioned ones you like would

I think Natasha Lettie would sound good together.

here are some others I think would go with Jillian that are not as old-fashionied classic as yours but not as "out there" as his:

Aubrey, Amber, Brenna, Cara, Dannah, Erica, Jocelyn, Johanna, Janna, Kara, Kirstin, Marissa, Paige, Rayna, Rhiannon, Raegan or Reegan, Sabrina, Sienna, Sierra, Samara, Taegan or Teegan, Tara (evolved from Teresa, not as "old aunt" sounding), Tiffany, Whitney.

good luck
