Neither DH or I will get our first choice of girls' names...help us on a second choice!

Anonymous
I thought this might be a fun challenge for the DC Urban Moms.

My favorite girl name is Anna. My husband vetoed that b/c of a family situation. His favorite name is Emily -- I vetoed that because, well, I think it's gotten way too common.

So, creative types out there -- what are some good second choice names we should consider?

What about Emma? sort of a combo - Emily/Anna

I like Marissa and Gwen. But my tastes may be a bit off.

Please don't choose Sophie. I already know six under the age of five. Julia is a beautiful name, IMHO.

I like Emma, but it is right up there with Emily in how commonly it is used. I vote for Amelia.

I like Amelia, but it is on a top 10 list I saw in the Post the other day (I'll post a link if I can find it).

I, like a pp, also love Julia.
