We already have a boy name picked out but having a hard time sticking with a girl name.
**Please no negative comments about the names we have chosen and please do not add your own suggestions just looking for which one you like the best. **
My DD's name is Aria and while I love her name, I hate how often I have to explain that she's not named after Game of Thrones because I've never watched it.

Except her name is Arya and not pronounced the same as Aria. This particular mixup makes me irrationally angry and I don't even read/watch it.
But like pp said, all the names are fairly common, so I wouldn't let popularity be a deterrent.
I've never watched it. How is it pronounced? Ah-RYE-ah?
I picked Aria. Pretty name! I'm over the unisex trend Emery fits into and Addelie looks made up to me (i don't know if it is, but that's the vibe I get). Would it sound like Natalie?

I don't usually like non-traditional names, but I don't mind the sound of Addelie. I'm assuming it's like a hybrid of Adele and Amelie.
@MyNamesTaken The name of the GOT character seems to change; sometimes she is pronounced "ar-ree-uh" and other times "eye-uh/ar-yuh." It's really weird. Although I know George R.R. Martin (the author) had to change a few character names from the books when filming so as not to confuse them. E.g. Yara was originally Asha in the book, but there were concerns it would be confused with another character named Osha.
