Girls name to go with Evan

Hi Ladies,
Found out yesterday we are having a little girl in May! However completely stumped for names, I had a list but nothing seems to appeal since we found out. I really like Fiadh(Irish name pronounced fee-a) but OH against it so that is out now.

Her brother is called Evan so I would like a name that would go with his and be like his as in four letters with two syllables, I kind of do like Leah so maybe in that vein but I suppose any suggestions I am open too, thank you all

I know an Evan with a sister Naeve (that's how they spell it, think your spelling is Niamh?)

Also know an Evan and an Eva (pronounced ehva not eeva, which I think is a bit too similar personally, but they obviously love the name!)

But obviously that misses the two syllable four letter requirement Grin

Cara

I would avoid Ellen and Elia as those names that could be shortened to Elle/El and you'd end up with Evan and El (heaven and hell)!
