Your favourite single syllable names

I would love suggestions of single syllable names (or nick names) for girls or boys.
Expecting dc3, have 2 DDs with quite classic 2 & 3 syllable names ending in -y/-ie , think Rosie and Emily. Names ending with -a or -er don't work v well with our surname and I feel that dc3 would work best with a single syllable name to give some contrast with the others.
So far I thought of

Beth
Eve

Sam (Samuel)
James

Any other ideas?
