What do you do if you cannot come up with a name?!?

I have looked up hundreds...and hundreds of girls names, and have only liked a few, in which, my husband does not like at all & the ones he likes, I don't like at all. it's not like were giving each other long lists to look at, especially not him, because there's NOTHING we really LOVE. how is this even possible? it's not even fun trying to pick a name anymore, I'm sick of it! what to do?! where can i find girls names I haven't already seen 75 times?!

1. Keep digging, you'll get there. What is your style? If it's trendy for example do a google search entitled "Trendy girl names." It took me until the day I had my daughter to name her Lila, I was all set on Evelina, somtimes it just happens out of no where you know the perfect name.
2. Well you could try one of those 2 first name sort of thing. As in if you liked Amey and he liked Lea you could combine it to make Amey- Lea! That way you both have names you like! Good luck!
3. just wait until you hear or see one you like. Have you tried babynames.com? I'm sure you've seen all of those names too. Consider these: Isabelle Jezzabel Jade Jasmine Amora or you can combine names
4. Is there any common style that you and your husband like? For example, do you both seem to prefer classic/timeless names (Victoria, Rose, Annabelle) or are you both into trendier names (Mikayla, Addison, Zoe)? Find one common style between the two of you and try to work from there. Try nymbler.com! You can put in names that you both sort of like, and it will give you suggestions for other names with the same style. Here are some names that you might not have already seen a million times: Aurora Bria Brielle Brynn Caroline Elena Gianna Jocelyn Laurel Lorelei Lydia Marina Teagan Tessa Vanessa
5. I never have an exact name pinpointed by the time I go into labour. I always have a few that I like, but not a chosen one. But when I see my baby the perfect name just comes out :)
6. A name Monika
7. Most websites are very overwelming and so is having a baby. Don worry u will find a name eventually. Ask friends and just keep searching! Here are some names I personally love: Allison Jacalyn Lauren Lucy Elaina Valerie Leila Nikki Samantha Claire Faye Delanie Quinn Raina Caitlyn Molly Logan Annie Jasmine Isabel Olivia Meredith Dara Farah Good luck!!! (:
8. My sister was supposed to be a boy... turned out they were wrong. So she got named after the song that was on the radio when my parents were on the way to the hospital (Carrie Ann). XD
9. Try looking at family names. Go back as far as possible and look at distantly related family as well. Also, because you're so frustrated and exhausted by the process just let it go for a few days. Focus on and do other things. Maybe set a date with your husband to meet at a coffee shop, or other place you associate with relaxing, and just talk about it all casually. One of you may have to compromise more than the other. But remember, you guys will pick a name and everyone will then come to associate it with your beautiful daughter- so you and everyone else will love it.
