Need help with a girl name

Hi, this is my first time posting here, but I definitely need help! I am scheduled for a c-section on Dec. 13 due to a breech baby, and can't find a FIRST name I like! This is our third girl, and nothing "feels" right! Our other two are Ashlynn Janae and Collette Avery. Since she's being born in Dec. I would like her middle name to be Noelle, but not her first name as I'm afraid she'd get teased at school or church with the "First Noel" song! lol! We liked Ella at first, but combined with Noelle doesn't really work. My husband came up with Camryn, which I like, but is it too masculine sounding (like Cameron)? I want another feminine sounding name as our first two are. Do you have any suggestions? TIA for your help!

I like how an "E" name would sound with your other girls, and Ellie or Ella could be a nn for the first few of these:
Elise Noelle
Elena Noelle
Eleanor Noelle
Emma Noelle
Non-E names:
Dalia Noelle
Talia Noelle
Delilah Noelle
Layla Noelle
Jocelyn Noelle
Jolie Noelle
Julianna Noelle
Sabrina Noelle
Scarlett Noelle
Shelby Noelle
Sophia Noelle
My faves for you would be: Elena Noelle, Layla Noelle, and Sophia Noelle.
Good luck!
Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
I agree that Ella Noelle has horrible flow, and I do find Camryn very masculine and trendy looking. Here are some ideas that work with Ashlynn and Collette:
Tabitha
Amelia
Charlotte
Ivy
Adeline
Karissa
Sienna
Mabel
Scarlett
Bronwen
Cecily
Bridget
Leanne
Ainsley
Tessa
HTH, let me know your thoughts

I think the E name suggestions given by a pp are a great idea for you. You can use Ella as a nn, but perhaps avoid some of the popularity.
As to Camryn, it isn't masculine-sounding "like Cameron" ... it IS Cameron. This is probably the most common misspelling when parents use the name for a girl. If you like masculine or unisex names, that's fine, but if you're looking for something feminine this isn't it at all.
On a side note, if you absolutely love the name Noelle and would use it even if you were due in, say, March, that's one thing, but if it was simply an idea for a unique, seasonal mn simply based on the fact that she'll be born in December I'd rethink it for sure. You have no idea how many other parents of December babies will be doing the same thing (or have at least considered it at some point). It's not unique at all -- I'd guess it's one of the most common mns for "holiday" births -- and the fact that its use around this time has become so predictable makes it comes across as a bit cheesy. I'm not saying any of that to be rude -- as I said, if you simply love the name use it -- but you should be aware of how common the idea is and how it comes across.

I suggested the name Tessa before, but my dh didn't like it. He likes just Tess, but again I wanted it to be a little more feminine. I also like Adeline and Ainsley, but thought maybe since dd#1 starts with an A that'd be too much and the line would be too much like the lynn from Ashlynn. I'm just way too skeptical! This is driving me crazy! By the way, I'm up right now as I'm having some mild contrax and just trying to decide if they're "real" or not. Thanks for your help!!
