help! baby girl name...husband & I don't agree...

We are having our 2nd baby girl in just a few weeks. My husband and I have different taste in names. I like names like Stella, Scarlett, Farrah, Quinn, Paisley, etc.... He likes names like Mackenzie, Taylor, Sydney, etc.... We are stumped. The only 2 names that we have (kind of) agreed on is Mackenzie or Payton, but I'm just not "in love." Middle name will be Noelle (agreed on that!). We don't want to do any names that start with "D" since our last name starts with that and also has that letter in the middle of the last name, too. We have been through the 1,000 baby names lists and have exhausted the conversation. We agreed to just discuss it again the day the baby is born when we have the c-section. Getting nervous about our lack-of-list for that day, though... NAME SUGGESTIONS/HELP, please! Thanks!

since you both agree on noelle, would that be an option for a first name?

Me and hubby were in the same position! he hated everything I liked and I hated everything he liked......I wanted Camille he wanted Lillian or Katherine. So I made a list of MY top 7 names taking in account he likes traditional and classic names and the day he saw my list was the day he named her Emily.....Maybe you two make your own lists of top 5 then put them together and start dwindling down heck no's then hopefully by delivery day have a small list to decide on when you see her?

Good luck!!

Noelle would be a pretty first name. Mackenzie and Payton are not great options.

If you both like Noelle, why not use it as your first name?  Here are some other suggestions:

Tara Noelle

Audra Noelle

Margaret nn Maggie Noelle

Marina Noelle

Amara Noelle

Even though we agree on Noelle for middle name, we decided not to do it for a 1st name- don't want nn Elle and we both aren't crazy about it for 1st name- but we like the Christmas connection to it for middle name.

I like those suggestions - Tara and Amara especially!

My sister in law is Erin Noelle.

It doesn't go with Noelle, but if this baby is a girl, we are naming her Natalie. It means "child born at Christmas". We aren't using it for that reason, but could be an option for you if you like the meaning.

Love Noelle. I don't get the same vibe from Mackenzie or Payton at all (not a fan). Let it rest a bit and then perhaps you can try again with both of you creating lists like PP suggested and seeing if you can agree on anything. Also, when going through the name lists, remember to consider names you would compromise on.
