We found out baby #2 is a girl and cannot for the life of us come up with a name. 1) The name needs to have a double letter 2) needs to be of Irish or Scottish origin.
DS is Dal.las Jos.eph.
I like the name Greer, but I already know everyone's opinion here of that name.
My favorite Irish and Scottish names; Alastriona Aoife Catriona Honora Iona Isobel Liadan Mairead Niamh Oona Orla Roisin Saoirse
Edit: I misread. Thought double letter was a preference, not a must. So... Oona.
I wish I knew how to pronounce some of those. I love Saoirse but poor kid would never have her name pronounced correctly. Also I feel like Gaelic/celtic names need to be said with an accent, which I definitely do not have.

Most people will get the pronunciation after being told once. My first and last names get mispronounced by new people all the time. It isn't a big deal. And of course an accent isn't needed for Gaelic names. I can understand if pronunciation issues would bother you though.
But for reference: Alastriona- Al-as-TREE-na Aoife- EE-fa Catriona- Pronounced like Katrina. Iona- eye-OH-na Liadan- LEE-dan Mairead- Rhymes with parade. Niamh- NEEV Roisin- roh-SHEEN Saoirse- SEER-shuh

Middle names would also be helpful.
And go....
Is the double letter a matchy thing, because, if so, just no. Assuming there is an actual good reason for needing a double letter (although can't imagine one for the life of me) here are some names (yes, Greer is awful):

What are your mn criteria?
All of the great grandchildren on my dad's side have double letters. And I find them more visually appealing.
So moving away from the scottish/irish origin and just double letters:
I like Charlotte DH has suggested Quinn
I like Arabella of the names suggested here, but I don't know if we're cool enough to pull that off.
I don't know your criteria for cool, but Dallas isn't exactly a shy choice of name, so I don't think anyone would be like, "Wow, they really went out there with Arabella!" Double letter names of various origins:

Greer just feels super masculine to me. I just think there are so many gorgeous names out there, and Greer is very plain. As far as Scottish or Irish double letter names...I'll have to get back with you.
I don't suppose OP could see her way clear to becoming Italian? Giovanna Elisabetta Violetta Fiorella Assunta Giulietta Maddalena Maristella Petronilla Raffaella Benedetta Elettra

Babynamesofireland.Com is great for hearing pronunciations if you aren't sure how to say some of these. I put the more obviously pronounced ones first
Keeva (Caoimhe is the more traditional spelling) Aileen Alannah or Alana Aideen Branna Brianna Cathleen or Kathleen Colleen Keela Kerry Nessa Maureen Oona Sheena or Sheenagh Sheela or Sheelagh Shannon Aibhlinn Aibreann Aislinn Beibhinn Cairenn or Caireann Caoilainn Daireann Eibhleann Fionnoula or Fenella Grainne Annis

Definitely nms though some are very pretty. And I am the least looking Italian person ever, blonde hair, green eyes, freckly pale skin.
Dh has nixed Greer completely. Le sigh. So far we can only agree on Charlotte but it bothers me how popular it is. Lots of good suggestions so I'll look up how to pronounce some of these. Keep em coming or she will be the child who has no name.

Dallas and Charlotte feels like a list of cities to me and I say that as someone whose name IS Charlotte.

The frontrunner is currently Lillian. I don't hate it but I'm not in love with it. DH loves Charlotte and Scarlett. The issue I have with Charlotte is that it's so popular and with DS's name we sound like an encyclopedia. Scarlett I find is becoming trendy.
MN is likely going to be Jane (both grandmothers have the same middle name) but it's not set in stone.

I love Emmeline. I also like Pippa, Willa, Camille, Harriet, Lillian and Charlotte (but wouldn't use Charlotte if I were you because of DS name and popularity).

I love Willa, Harriet, and Camille from the new list. Lillian is nice but Lily names seem just as popular as Charlotte, especially when I factor in the Lily, Lilly, Lillian, Liliana, variations.
