Help naming our team green baby?

[secondaryPULSE]

Hi ladies =] I'm really struggling with names for our third baby (unknown gender) due in April. Siblings are Jude and Evelyn. Last name 3 syllables, starting with "H."
girls list (feel free to suggest more):
Juniper
Eleanor
Eloise
Charlotte

and for boys' names...I'm at a loss. DH and I can't seem to agree on anything. So, suggestions are welcome. Thanks ladies!

[sweetpeabee]

Love Eleanor! Eloise is beautiful too.

What are some boys names that you like? That your DH likes? Give us an idea of your style!

Thanks! I love Eleanor, but worry about people thinking we're Beatles obsessed! 

Here are some names each of us like:
Me: Alexander, Charles, Ezra, George, Benjamin, Owen, Oliver
DH: Ivo, Desmond, Collin, Byron, Auron

I love Juniper but I don't like that it's similar to Jude, especially if it gets shortened to June.

This. I also love Charlotte. Oliver was on my list of boy names but it was vetoed by Mike.
I've never heard the name Ivoo.

Oops! DH just informed me I miss spelled Ivo. We have a friend with this name--it is of Serbian/Eastern European descent.

You don't like Desmond? That was one of our finalists. . Although I suppose that's another Beatles name!
I like Owen and Benjamin getting your list.

[secondaryPULSE]

Ah, my bad on my political incorrectness.

DH actually used to have this crazy little terrier named Desmond when we first met, so the association is sort of ruined for me.

[kellybenelly83]

I love Charlotte and Eloise personally.

[ugotstarbucked]

I adore Eloise.

[lulu783]

Names that came immediately to mind are:

Claire

Thomas

[secondaryPULSE]

DD's MN is Clare, I like Thomas, but NMS.

Love Evelyn Clare - great name.

I guessed that might be the case on Thomas, so I'll offer you one more - Rhys

[secondaryPULSE]

Thank you! I like Rhys!

Me too, but DH really doesn't like it =[

[MauiBliss]

What about Elias or Elijah?

[secondaryPULSE]

Not a fan.

Fine! I'll just keep them to myself then!!!!

But seriously, I think when it comes to girls, you have all great options. I love Eloise. Charlotte is becoming a little too popular to me but still a nice name. 

For boys, I'm at a loss. I think you both have some good names on your list. Sorry I'm not more help!

Haha, thanks for the suggestions! DH and I are really leaning towards Eloise. MN would be Shelley (need to double check spelling) after DH's grandfather, whose birthday is the day before our DD, and has failing health. 
As for boy names, we are so stumped! I guess this baby had better be a girl!

Thea

Violet

Willa

Beatrix

Saffron

Anthea

Louisa

Natalia

Aurora

Sabela

Catriona

Petra

Pyrrha

Georgiana

Clara

Boy:

Aaron

Adrian

Harlan

Alexander

Myron

Ronan

Seamus

Theodore

Leo

Thanks, I like a lot of the names you suggested! Let's see if I can get DH to agree! =]

[secondaryPULSE]

Alright, I'm bumping this back up for a few more ideas.
our girl list, which we're feeling pretty good about (but feel free to suggest/share criticism):
Elia/Eliana (DH really likes this name)
Eleanor
Eloise
Charlotte
Juniper

Boy:
Elijah (ETA: DH loves this name. I'm not super thrilled by it)
Theodore
Archer
Phineas (nn Finn)
Alder

Can I get some criticism/additional ideas for boys based on my list? Also, H names are out.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I love Eloise, Charlotte, and Eleanor. I like Eliana (not Elia) and Juniper.

For boys, I love Theodore, Archer, and Phineas. Not a fan of Alder.

[packerfan4life]

I love Eloise. Juniper is awesome but I like it more in a GP way.

From your and your H's boy list I love Ezra, Desmond, and Oliver. Love Theodore nn Theo.

Your girl list is lovely, although Elia/Eliana are my least favorite names on there. Suggesting Eleri (eh-LAIR-ee) and Elowen as alternative "el" names. I love Theodore and Phineas (although the mythological connotations aren't the best for Phineas). I like Arthur much better than Alder or Archer. And Elijah is fine, but leaves me a little cold. Suggesting Finnian and Thaddeus.

Thanks! I love Eleri and Finnian. I like Finnian over Phineas, so thanks =]  Now I feel like our boy list is making a little progress!

So I'm thinking I'd like to have a list of 3-5 names for each sex, and once we see/meet the baby, we'll finalize our name. Has anyone done this? Did a name just seem to fit? ...Or am I just going to look at the baby and be even more torn? With DD and  DS, we knew their sex in advance, and had chosen a single name ahead. 

[lalamomma]

Lots of beautiful suggestions, I have liked your name ideas except Eleanor. For some reason I just think it sounds sad and I can't get on board with it. I think I like PPs suggestion of Eleri or your idea of Eloise

For a boy I LOVE Alder or Archer!
