    We are having the same issue here. DH loves Josephine. Not a fan.

    My frontrunners:

    Genevieve
    Leah
    Jocelyn (which DH doesn't like at all)
    Alexandra
    Julianna

    Our last name is a single syllable name that starts with S, that is Dutch.

    Some of DH's other offerings:
    Fiona (I think of shrek and the mom in the Thornbirds)
    Beatrix (I think of the nickname Trixie, which is what my grandparents named their dog)

    On the plus side, we do agree with Marie as a middle name!

    I like Charlotte. It was an also-ran for us (we had a boy).
    What about Isabella, and call her Belle, not Bella.
    Eden? Loooove that name.
    Elizabeth, and call her ... Elizabeth?
    Alexandra, call her Alex or Lex or Lexie
    Samantha, call her Sam or Sami

    Audrey was my favorite name post DD1 (before I joined a moms group), and Abigail was DH's favorite name; too bad we both knew two Audreys and two Abigails (all four kids are between the age of 3/1/2, and 4 now).

    Charlotte (although in my area it is very popular)
    Miranda
    Violet (DH nixed this one)
    Celeste
    Elisa (DD1)
    Lauren (DD2)
    Nichole
    Harper
    Leah
    Caroline
    Meara
    Maura
    Jane
    Jenna (DD1 was almost named this)
    Genevieve
    Claudette
    Veronica
    Carmen
    Luisa
    Cara

    DH loved Victoria, but I didn't care for the nick name of Vicki/y, and I wasn't sure I wanted the nick name of Tori.

    I'm partial to Evelyn but it is climbing in popularity.

    When I first read your post, my first thought was Claire but I don't of any nicknames for Claire. I also like Josephine, Katelyn, Julianne, Elizabeth, Rebecca, and Victoria.

    DS #1 has a classmate named "Annalena" which is pretty and a bit unusual.
