I was wondering if you could recommend some names. My husband and I are at a stalemate with names for our soon approaching baby girl.
While we both like the other's name choice, we much prefer our own better. I like Mila, he likes Gianna. I was thinking maybe Mila Noelle (maybe even Joelle). No clue what Gianna's middle name would be.
I don't want a child with a name at the top of all the lists, but these ones stand out even though they are somewhat popular.
I'd like to find a name, a whole new name, present it to hubby and we both fall in love with it. Is it even possible?!?! I like uncommon (for today), easy to say, feminine names. I think I'd prefer a shorter name also, Gianna is bordering on being too long.
Just for reference her brother's name is Robert Michael, which is a family name.
Any suggestions?

Compact feminine names have been a favorite of parents of many decades, and were a huge hit throughout the 1900s-20s. Many silent screen actresses were given these as stage names, so the style seems very iconic. This trend with a vintage twist would stand out, yet still fit in with the tots of today.

It seems you and your husband both like names with a heavy "e" sound that end in an "a". Some short, feminine names that fit the bill are:
Sia/Gia/Nia/Dia/Fia
Isa/Nisa
Clea/Thea
Lita
Lina/Nina
Eva/Neva
Mira
Sela(h) (can also be said with a short e)
Some short, feminine names that don't have the long-e:
Thora
Tana
Sasha
Tessa
Elka
Caia/Kaia/Maia
Etta
Lyra
Audra
Dessa/Kessa/Jessa
Nara/Zara/Mara
Nova
Calla
...and some names that don't quite fit in above, but I think you might like:
Mattise/Felice/Elise
Ruby
Romy
Maisie
Junia
Delia
Milena
Ligeia
Gloria
Gillian
Giada
Geneva
And some combinations that I think might sound nice with your last name (which is removed for security, and hiding-from-the-family purposes):
Nina Paige
Audra Camille
Jessa Noelle
Kaia Roxanne
Milena Jade
Maisie Geneva
Mara Elise
Nova Maxine
Calla Brynn
Delia Eve
Hopefully something here strikes a chord for you and the hubby! Best wishes.
