Third girl name?

My third daughter is due in four weeks and DH is not being very co-operative when it comes to discussing names. So I'm going to narrow it down to three and hopefully he will make a choice. I prefer non top ten names, my other two daughters aren't even in the top 100. I don't want anything too pretentious, but nothing too westy either. We tend to use nick names a lot. Here's my list so far... would love to have some input seeing as DH isn't helping! Piper (like this for a little one and teen, but not sure if it would be a bit harsh on a 50-year-old) Sasha (Probably the front runner at this stage) Emmeline Remy Mae Emerson Quinn Mila Geneva Emery Darcy Violet Cleo (Hubby doesn't like) Other suggestions? Thanks in advance...

You have quite a variety of styles there. If your daughters' names are of a similar style to each other I would be looking at choosing another similar in style to them. Otherwise I suppose different from both but it all depends on the names and also the surname of course. I would shortlist to: Sasha Emmeline Mila I quite like Quin/n even though it's not my personal style and I'd include Ginevra rather than Geneva. I'm not keen on the remaining names.

My daughter's names are very different styles. One is a very feminine name, one is more a boy's name. Both contain plenty of e's and l's, I'm not too concerned about having matching names, just probably don't want another Elle-type name.

Piper - like Sasha (Probably the front runner at this stage) - like Emmeline - very pretty - am surprised this wouldn't be in the top 100, I know lots. Remy - like Mae - don't like Emerson - don't like Quinn - don't like Mila - like Geneva - OK Emery - OK Darcy - don't like Violet - OK - pretty popular I think Cleo (Hubby doesn't like) - NMS My pic's would be Piper, Remy and Mila
