Difficult sibling names plus rubbish surname...

I'm pregnant with baby number 3.

DS is called Ellis Reece and DD is Amelia (Millie) Seren.

That alone rules out a lot of names I liked, such as Lily (DD gets called Millie jsut as much as she does Amelia), Eris, Camellia... on top of that, my surname is Short. Ugh.

So umm - can anyone think of any names that go?

I like names that are heard of but not too popular, or unusual - Ellis I think fits the bill so would like something similar for a boy, and for girls I like feminine names; current likes are Sapphire, Violet, Erin, Eden, Tabitha, Matilda...and Ayla jumped out at me the other day but no clue which way to pronounce it! :)

Suggestions very welcome x

Viola, if you like Violet?
Erin is lovely and goes well, I think.

I would pronounce Ayla how it's spelled, Ay to rhyme with 'hay' and la to rhyme with 'the'.

Carmel, if you like Camellia?

For a boy maybe Dylan? No idea how popular it is though.

Btw in case anyone notices, I have realised that my DD's initials spell A.S.S - only worked it out a few months after we had registered her though! :)
