Vivian back up for my Team Green

virginiaunicorn11

Current front runner is Vivian Rachael. Spelling is a family name, non-negotiable. 
DS's name is like Cyrus Heinrich, but not exactly. We have a German-American last name. 

Broad criteria (not all required): Jewish-friendly, a real name, somewhat classic but maybe not, not too cutesy/girly, ideally a family name. Literary references are good. I have a weird obsession with her name sounding "like it fits a CEO" but know that's subjective and weird.

-I like Astrid but DH vetoed it, which is for the better. He likes Abigail and Hazel, I vetoed.
-Other names we both like but can't use are Elena, Beatrice, Frida, Sylvie and Celia. 
-We both like Alexandra, but not 100% sold.

Boys names that we both love: Julian, Ari, Isaac. 


What girl names am I overlooking? I feel like I have looked at every list out there... TIA!

Thanks! Lorelei is the famous poem by Heinrich Heine, who inspired our son's MN. I wish I liked the name better. Hmmm, maybe as a MN. 

I love Ingrid, but DH doesn't. We both like Etta (and Harriet is a family name). Thanks!!

Other suggestions I love and will use to guide the search (because DH said no): Eliana, Zelda.

I also like Hannah but it's too close to my name.  

Thanks, ladies! And please keep the ideas coming if you have them.

holli0801

Fiona, Lucille/Lucy, Hazel

BethPSU

I was just going to suggest Fiona and see that pp did.   I am suddenly crushing on Fiona and meanwhile we had a discussion a few nights ago where we basically agreed on Vivian Kay for this team green baby.  Now I feel like I need to discuss Fiona with DH bc something about it "feels" right.  

Gators&BoSox

I love Fiona so much. it was on my list but dh said no

Esther - Works as a Hebrew name, but is also Persian like Cyrus is, which could be cool as a subtle connection
Anna
Naomi
Leah
Judith
Bethany
Laila/Lila/Layla
Yael
Veronica
Felicity - not sure if this really meets your criteria, it is just one of my favorite names. 

HoosOnFirst

I like Felicity, Juliet, Ivy, Stella...

As common as it was in the 80's, Jessica actually fits your girl criteria. It was orginally formed in English by Shakespeare for The Merchant of Venice, and she was a Jew. It's from the Hebrew Iscah, and is mentioned once in the Torah as the niece of Abraham. 

For a boy, I'm partial to Asher.

Good luck
