Seriously stumped

Hello all,
This is my first post on the baby name boards. I am in serious need of help. I am the one doing all of the searching for the perfect baby name and my husband calmly tells me that we still have lots of time left. Is 10 weeks allot of time???
We already have 2 daughters. The eldest is named *Jolize Danielle* and the youngest is named *Jemma Aspen*. We created our eldest daughters' name by combining Joseph and Louise (our MN's). I love that it is unique without being over the top. The youngest is not a popular name where I live (Canada). So the pressure is on to find that perfect 3rd daughters name. We do not know if it is another girl but we sort of have the boy name picked (Darien Jonathan).
Anything I like, my husband doesn't and vice versa. My top contenders in my eyes are Jillian and Gianna. I also like Eliana, Elora, Liora to name a few. My husband's very short list ... Jessica, Sierra, Jasmine, Dakota, Sienna, Raquel and Jazlyn. Can you see my problem?
Please help with suggestions!!
Tanya :)

What about a combination of your 2 daughters' names? It may be crazy?
jemMA jolIZE= MAIZE (May-zee) or if you want to stick with "j"s.
jemMA JolIzE= JAMIE
Yikes! I don't know. Maybe I'm getting a little nuts with this. This may help..
"J"s that would sound good with the other two.
Jacee/Jayce/Jacie/Jacey
Jaela/Jayla/Jaelah
Jahlen/Jaylen/Jaylan
Jenica/Jenicka
Justine
Juliana/Julianna
Others that would be nice too!
Kelsey
Riley
Marla
Tristan
~i'm offically stumped now too! Hope this helps:) Good Luck and let me know what you think:) Tiffany
My main advice is to avoid another J name... where something like Jolize, Jemma, & Elora sounds really nice, Jolize, Jemma, & Jazlyn sounds completely cutesy and just TOO MUCH (on top of Jazlyn being a horrible name).
With your unique style, from your list I like Elora best from the names you gave, none of the others seem right. Off the top of my head, how about:
Celeste
Corinne
Sage
Sadie
Annika
Della
Vanessa/Nessa
Bria/Cambria
Portia
Brynn
Reina
For a boy, Darien is nice but Lane immediately came to my mind, just to give you another option to consider. Or Charles nn Chaz. The one thing about Darien Jonathan that bothers me is that both names have the same ending (en/an) so the flow isn't that great.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions. I have written them all down and will go over them with my husband. Unfortunately, that is what makes this naming process so difficult. I see some great suggestions that will be automatically taken off the list due to relatives already with that name (Julianne), or just bad associations with the name. Once I show DH the list I will come back and see what you think!
Thanks again,
Tanya
